This isn't the best photo, but the sun has already gone down! That's my time tested remedy to take better photos. ANYWAY. . .
This set has been calling my name. I've had it for so long and not used it. But a few days ago, I found a tiny leaf punch at the Dollar Tree and knew I had to make this card. I wanted multi-color leaves, so I brayered a non-SU glossy piece with a fall spectrum pad. It didn't work like Stampin' Up's glossy because all the colors melded together into a mustard color. So I punched a few leaves out and used the rest for the background on this card! I used the swirly cuttlebug embossing folder for the blue strip, then I used the whirly twirly wheel with a glue pad on the main image to adhere glitter to. I was going for a wind theme which is probably hard to see in the photo.
All in all, I had fun with the sketch challenge and the color challenge. I haven't created a card in awhile and the challenges sure do help inspire you.

OK, I love this card. I love this stamp set. I don't have it, but I'm thinking I may need to procure it.
I love what you did with the swirly twirly wheel! It surely does evoke a feeling of swirling wind. Lovely! (and I love glitter to);)
Then, so clever of you bringing that swirling feel in again with the embossing.
Excellent card! I love it!
