I made this card for this week's Alphabet Challenge for the letter O. The O in my card is for the oak loaves. I have never tried heat embossing on brown cardstock before and for some reason I wanted to try that today. I was quite pleased with the results of the gold embossing on the brown. We have had a major cool down in the past 2 days so I am feeling like Fall is here, thus the plaid paper. Thanks for looking today. ~Karen.

Gorgeous rich, warm colors of your autumnal card Karen! The heat embossing on Brown CS is like icing on a chocolate cake! So glad you tried this, the results are fabulous.
The repeated gold bg peeking through the patterns is elegant & classy! Beautifully done mf!!

That is a fabulous look with the gold on brown embossing...looks almost coppery! Your background plaid is so perfect for your image and for achieving such a lovely fall card!

Lovely gold mirror. Love how you use it. Your embossed oak leaves are perfect for fall as is the plaid! This has a real fall warmth to it. Very cozy looking.
