Hi Petaloo Fans.......Lynne Forsythe here!
It's that time in the North Country.
The hills (mountains) are ALIVE with color...

greens
yellows
reds
browns!!

....and can I tell you...
I about go CRAZY!

Decks and stairs are adorned with Mums and Pumpkins
and there is a crispness in the air
with the smell of Fall.

My creation today was inspired by this beautiful season!
I began with a pad of
Core'dinations 6 x 6 Dark Cardstock Pad
just the perfect colors
with a slight addition of piece of
Chocolate Brown Cardstock.

For your convenience
I created a SnapGuide regarding how I made the leaves....

Check out How to Create Leaves for a Fall Inspired Canvas
by Lynne Forsythe on Snapguide.

Once I had created my leaves
and the background to my canvas...
I pulled out a
BEAUTIFUL Petaloo Textured Burlap Blossom...

and created my flower cluster around it!!
I just love the Ivory Mixed Blossoms....
and ohhh HOW BEAUTIFUL are the
little touches created by
the Berry Clusters.

When I THOUGHT I was finished I pulled out
a few Mini Mix ~ Teastained Purple flowers!
Just PERFECT!

I finished off my canvas with a
CMC Fancy Frame
around a chipboard LOVE!
(pretty much sums it up!!)

I adhered my flowers and leaves with
Xyron ~ Double Sided High Tack Tape...
impressive!

Hope you have enjoyed my Fall Themed project!!!
