I've neglected the cards I have to make in favour of a little playtime.
I stamped leaves onto a coloured magazine page following TTT technique and embossed with gold EP, cut 'em out and painted on a bit of crackle accents. I did only one maple leaf because it was too much of a fiddle to remove the centre as it is nearly a solid stamp.
I printed and tore around the quote and used loads of vintage photo on it.
I started off with this (below) for the topper - after seeing Claire's gorgeous canvas!
I don't have any Pan Pastels....yet....no modelling paste or any decent leaf stamps so I had to improvise
I used a very thick layer of cheap white acrylic paint and squished it about - added various embossing powders, a piece of net, metallic gilding wax and a dab of a music stamp here and there.

WOW!!! This looks stunning Irene and even more so because you improvised and did things the hard way.
I love the look of your distressed quote and leaves too, but your topper is a true work of art sweetie.
