I saw a Halloween waterfall card and wanted to make one. With the weather the way it is here in Wisconsin it feels like fall, so I made one using leaves as the theme. For me it was a rather easy card. Since it was my first time making it, it took time to get it figured out. Overall it was a fun card to make and it's fun to look at. 

This is the background layer of the card that goes on top of the card base. The card base is 5 1/2 " x 8 1/2". I used a stamp to create the leaf pattern. The layering piece is 5 1/4" x 4".

I put the layering piece on top of the burnt orange card. I added a piece of dark red with 2 brads so the piece of paper is not adhered directly to the background layer. The brad piece is 1" x 4".

This is the waterfall strip. I cut out 3 burnt orange squares and 3 white squares. I stamped each of the white squares with a leaf. The waterfall strip is 1 3/4" x 8 1/2". The waterfall strip is scored at 1 3/4", 2 3/4", and 3 3/4". The 3 burnt orange squares are 2" x 2 1/4" and the white squares are 2" x 1 3/4".

I slid the waterfall piece under the brad piece and attached a ribbon at the end so you can pull it out.

Same as above, but pulled out slightly.

Same as above, but pulled out all the way.
