I made this card for the Alphabet Challenge for the letter E (for heat embossing; embossing with embossing folder and embossing with dies). I watched a video by Sandi Maciver and I just had to make this card after seeing this video here: . I wanted this to be a 5x7" card so I modified it slightly from the way Sandi made it, but not by much. I had a LOT of fun making this card and I know I will make another one for sure. I will use a smaller leaf stamp on my next card because this one was too large so that is the only thing I was not as satisfied with.

WowKaren, this is awesome! I need to check out that video! I love the soft colours of the background with the lovely falling leaves, behind the birch tree trunks. What a gorgeous gold leaf embellishment and the curved border is beautiful too.
