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.

Love those beautiful warm colors! Oh Faith, you have way with a lot of different colors, but these are my favorites. Guess the cold is getting to me, yeah, it's not even winter yet. But your card reminds me of a nice quiet fall evening with wood burning in the fire, cuddled up to dh or my son and just looking at it burn. Beautiful work, I love that big leaf. Speachless, now. LOL

That leaf looks like it came right from your yard! Awesome job...and maybe Speedy the cat will take to eating all those treats instead of your stamp sets...uh oh, better hide them...he can open locked cabinets you know!!!!!!!
