A Wonderfall autumn thank you

It's not been easy joining in with my favourite challenges just lately due to life throwing a few surprises our way but when I saw Arielle's sketch over at Retro Sketches I had an idea that I had to try out. I had the CASual Fridays 'Fall colours with a leaf' challenge in my head too. Come and see:

I loved the split front of the sketch and decided to flip it and use it for this autumnal card using the wonderful Wonderfall set. (Sorry, but there's something about the name Wonderfall that makes it obligatory to put the adjective 'wonderful' with it!)

Just look at those fabulous stylised leaves and that cute acorn, all tied up with linen thread!

I used a combination of smooth and textured card stock for the split panel, piercing along the split edges for added detail. The sentiment is stamped on the card front itself using a stamp-a-majig to make sure it was exactly where I wanted it.

This is the fabulous sketch I was working from:

Here's what you'll need to make this card
