Hi Crafty Friends,
There's a new challenge open at Festive Fridays.We always have 4 themes for you to choose from.  This month's themes are:ChristmasFall ColorsHalloweenPlaying in the Leaves
Here's my project.

I was playing around with different techniques for this one.

I foiled the leaves foil plate onto heat resistant acetate then attached the panel to the card base under the 3/4 inch flap to which I added a heat embossed sentiment.  I used an Altenew 3D embossing folder for the inside panel.  I've placed a panel on the back for a personal message.  I love the foil on acetate!

I hope you'll play along this month.
