Congrats to Tricia! What a wonderful gallery she has! So a little coincidentally, I chose her Wonderful to case. I kept the tree theme and general layout but changed the colors, images and die cut shape.
I love making fall cards! The colors, the images...they're all fabulous. For this card, I started by sponging on the colors from the Autumn Leaves Kpad, then stamped the tree scene in chocolate ink. I added a bit more shading around the tree w/ markers and die cut it. The chocolate layer behind it was embossed only using a lg rectangle die. I used three different embossing folders on the green bg and gold strip. The leaves were stamped separately using the same autumn ink and cut out. The sentiment was stamped on some deep orange c/s and die cut w/ a ribbon banner. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
Congrats again. Tricia! Enjoy your week! All the details are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Stunning card, Julie! LOVE those sunset colors behind the tree. Love the banner and the 3-D leaves around it. The embossed strips are the perfect background.
