Two challenges that I thought I was going to fail. I struggle with fall colors because I prefer bright summery colors. I think I usually put them on too dark a background. This time I made sure to keep a white card base. For the technique lovers' challenge, I picked some leaves off my hydrangea and inked them up with the closest Memento colors that I had to this week's colors. I made the stems of the leaves with the edge of the ink pad. Stamped the sentiment in rich cocoa and then decided it needed a bow. Since I'm pretty bad at making real bows, I grabbed my Sketch It set and stamped a bow. TFL!

I love the effect of stamping with leaves, and yours turned out beautifully. And oh, I love the idea of stamping a bow!! I usually resort to a die-cut one. Hmm, I think I have an old wreath set with a bow, thanks for that idea.

Beautiful! Your colors are perfect for fall (my fave time of year!) I love the bold fall colors & have trouble w/ spring pastels. Your card is just lovely!
