Create a dimensional Leaf Wall Hanging using the Falling Leaves collection. I often find inspiration on Pinterest, so when I saw this piece, I knew it would be perfect paired with the September kit.

Leaf Wall Hanging Tutorial
Create a Base
Purchase and download the Falling Leaves Hybrid Kit and Leaf Collage Cut File. Open the digital stamp file from the hybrid kit using photo-editing software. Select a small skeleton leaf. Duplicate the image, increasing it to the desired size, and decreasing the opacity.

Print the two leaves onto a 12x12" Cream Texture plain paper. Note: The size of the paper will depend on the capabilities of the printer used.

Roughly trace the leaf image onto a piece of pizza box cardboard. Use scissors to trim inside the lines so it's slightly smaller than the paper leaf.

Add glue to the other side of the cardboard and top with a second fussy cut leaf shape, creating a triple-layered rigid base.

Place the leaf base into a spray tray (aka: empty pizza box). and Apply a variety of inks and spritz with Opaque White and Burnt Umber Stipple Mists. Allow the piece to dry completely before moving onto the next step.
