Hi! The card was made for today's Sketch Challenge. It was also made for one of Speedy the Cat's fans! Yesterday, there was an embarrassingly HUGE box of cat treats sent to Speedy the Cat from one of his fans in Ontario! I checked the postage and almost fainted! WOW!
So, since Speedy the Cat presented me with this stamp set, (he dropped it in my scrambled eggs this morning!), I thought I'd use it on a card to send to his fan.
The leaf image was stamped in VersaMark and embossed in gold. Next, I colored it in with SU! markers and used an aqua painter to blend the colors.
I added definition by outlining the veins with marker.
The far background is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.
Dots were added to the Mahogany layers with Inkssentials pen.

Faith, I love the vibrant colors on your card. The Maple leaf looks real, I love the one extra panel, the very different finishes on all of your bg panels, the brads and the ribbon treatment.

This is gorgous! I love the rich fall colors! The CB EF looks great in the background. Beautiful leaf image. Great job as always! Your cat is getting spoiled. LOL!
