My second Autumn card. If it weren't for my hot flashes and the fact that this week the temps are in the 80s here in central North Carolina, I might be able to feel fall-ish. The Hubs and I also have to get into the pool today to clean it out for winter prep. Not that I'm complaining about that, it's just the last time we were in a swimming pool in October was 10 years ago when we lived in Orlando! It just feels strange, good, but strange.
So on to the card ---
I love this leaf stamp from K and Company. It's just so dainty and elegant. I cut out a frame on a textured white cardstock, the Fleur De Lis from Spellbinders. Then, I stamped the leaf with Versamark on and embossed it with three fall colors. At that point, I wasn't sure what else I wanted to do but I did want a bit more color on the card. So, I inked up an emboss folder with Versamark, ran some cardstock through it and embossed it with the same colors. I adhered that embossed strip to the card base and popped up the frame on top. Last, I added some gold bead gems and a dark red/purple gem and stamped the sentiment in timber brown.
