For my card I used a technique called paper quilted die cut. (A technique that my friend Maxine introduced me to. Thanks Maxine!)

I took some scraps and cut them into little 1 inch squares. I then cut the squares in half making a bunch of triangles. I think I had 20 or more of each paper.

  I didn't really have a pattern, I just started gluing the triangles down onto a piece of white typing paper. 

When the paper was all glued down, I sprayed it with gold shimmer spray.

After the gold shimmer spray was dry I took a redish brown ink and stamped the mum all over the quilted paper.

Here you can see the stamped mums on the quilted paper.

I put a little bit of copper Inka gold on the lid of the jar and added some water and painted the mums with the copper. (I made sure that it was dry before closing it up so that it won't grow mold.)

When the inka gold dried, I used a leaf die to cut out several leaves. I took a copper metallic pen and went around the edges of the leaves.

Here is a photo of my finished card. I used fall looking dp, a page from and encyclopedia, twine, a button and pearls to finish it off.

Here is a close up of the leaves,
