Look Kelsey! I finally managed to enter one of your challenges!

I wanted to make a card featuring Autumn, because I love it so much, and because it is nearly here! The leaves are turning brown and gold, there is a hint of chill in the air in the early morning... The specific type of autumnal weather I chose is like this. Crisp, dry days with plenty of leaves to crunch through.

I used this image, I decided to use a photo rather than an anime picture ^^

I used one of these brushes [my gosh it took me ages to find the link to them!] and also these.

I used a texture from here, but it seems they have deleted half their gallery! Oh no!

I basically just played with the settings of the texture, I think I had it on linear light [or perhaps that was the text layers...] I don't remember! I just spent a good while faffing around with the text, I'm not too fond of it, but I quite like the way the texture is erased in some areas. Sorry, this isn't a good description... ^^;
