Fall, Through the Window

I guess I should have said "Fall, Looking through the window" as no one is falling on this card, but these last few days I have been daydreaming about Fall.  It is so very hot here in CA, and is very much still Summer, but I can dream of warm days, crisp, cool nights and leaves starting to fall from the trees.
Here is the scene I have been dreaming of:

Behind the Madison Grand Window diecut from Poppy Stamps, I used Serendipity Stamps (Bare Tree) image, stamping off the ink for the first tree to make it look a little further away  Since this is a Fall card, I added some splotches of Fall colors using re-inkers and an aqua pen, just enough so it looks as though the trees still have a few leaves left on them.  The patterned paper is from Bo Bunny, Forever Fall Collection.  The bottom half of the card is embossed with a Darice striped embossing folder to look like wainscoting.  I added a Spellbinder label with a Serendipity sentiment (Everyday Words, small horizontal set).  The finishing touch is a pine bough swag punched with a Martha Stewart punch in Fall colors.  The boughs are tied up with a button and some jute twine.  This card is going to go to my Dad who has a Fall birthday.  If you would like to make a Fall card of your own using these stamps, make sure to check out the Serendipity store.
