Head-over tails for you

The Croton leaves are perfect for Fall cards too! Today I have this vibrant fall card with the Croton leaves and a bunch of cute critters

On the background panel, I ink blended Distress oxides Squeezed lemonade, Mustard seed, Spiced marmalade and Crackling campfire. Once completely dried, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the To-tail-ly awesome stamp set.

I die cut the two sizes of Croton leaves from white cardstock and ink blended them with Twisted citron, Mowed lawn, Rustic wilderness, Mustard seed, Spiced marmalade and Barn door. Then, to add more interest to them, I sprayed Rustic wilderness and Twisted citron on my craft mat, without mixing them, and randomly dipped the leaves into the inks. I reserved them to let them dry.

I stamped and colored the three characters with Copic markers. These are all from different stamp sets: To-tailly awesome, Owl yours and Just quillin'. Lots of cuteness in these characters. Their size is perfect for an easy coloring. I added a few highlights on the cheeks with a white gel pen.

I die cut the images with the coordinating dies and then assembled the card.
I started by gluing the leaves on my background. I trimmed the leaves sticking out of the background. I adhered the background to my card base and then glued the three critters on the largest leaf.
