Maple leaves are my favorite leaf shape. The maple in leaf in Autumn Days stamp set is just perfect. The ladies who took my Wow Wall Calendar Class thought all the leaves in pretty colors was background paper. It was a simple sheet of Whisper White card stock stamped with one stamp over and over in a variety of colors.
I did take the colors from the Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper. The color combination is Ruby Red, Always Artichoke, More Mustard, Elegant Eggplant and Soft Suede.
The die-cut leaves are from the Sizzix Leaves #2 Originals Die. I started with the border of the five die-cut leaves. After settling on the border, the rest fell into place.
Again, I wanted a calendar page that had space for a picture but would also look good on its own. Judging from the reaction of my stampers, it did its job.
