A few days ago I pulled out some dies that I hadn't used in a long time and this one that had never been used. It was still taped down firmly in the original package. I cut it from a piece of Yupo paper that I had colored with alcohol inks a couple of months ago. The colors are great for this time of year.
Once I had it cut I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. Before adding adhesive I placed it on some white and then ivory card stock but both were too bright. I had a package of cream card stock that until now I wasn't crazy about because it was too yellow. It was just what I needed.
The 4" x 5 1/4" was embossed with a folder from Stampin' Up! and then mounted onto the card base using foam squares.
Thank you for coming by today!

You're right - perfect colors for fall! Great way to finish up the card with that pretty die.
I have this die too; and it's so nice and big you don't need much. Love the texture in the background too.
Here is a black and white version: https://craftiblog.wordpress.com/2016/07/19/2016-07-19-hero-arts-3-fern-stamp-upper-case-artistic-alphabet/
I have quite a number of dies that I haven't used yet. It's always fun to cut them for the first time. I really like the embossed paper behind your leafy frond. A great fall card!
