I love the colors of fall. all the warm yellows, oranges, and reds. My card today reflects all of those shades. Although here, all those beautiful leaves have fallen and are now just a dull brown all over the yard and deck. Fortunately my husband made quick work of them with his leaf blower--you know men love playing with their toys too.
I took a scrap of watercolor paper and sprinkled on Brushos and spritzed with water. When that was dry, I used a Serendipity Stamps to stamp leaves with Versamark ink and embossed it with gold embossing powder. That is backed with brown cardstock. The gold stripe vellum is also a leftover from SU. The background paper is really an orange that for some reason looks gold here. I found it at a yard sale and it did not have a label. The orange sparkly ribbon was also in my stash. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!, stamped and fussy cut.

ReplyDeleteThose are some beautiful fall colors on your card. I love that you used your Brushos. I haven't used mine in a good long while. I guess I should really get them out and do something with them. I just never seem to have enough time to do all the crafting I want!
