The perfect Autumn into Winter card

Here in Wisconsin, we are certainly starting to see Autumn starting to slow down and thoughts of Winter creeping closer.  With that in mind I have a card that I think fits this time of year really well.  I used the Gather Together Bundle to create this Autumn into Winter card.

Stampin' Up! Gather Together stamp set, Gathered Leaves Dies, Come to Gather DSP, Stampin' Studio

There are so many fabulous things going on with this card, yet I think everything is very balanced and not over done.  We’ve got fabulous texture from the delicate embossing on the card base and the die-cut/embossed leaves.  Beautiful prints found in the designer paper and layered up with coordinating cardstock.  And of course we can’t forget the ribbon embellishment, because what’s a card without layers, texture and embellishments, right!?  Are you ready to create your own perfect Autumn into Winter card?
