Fall is my favorite time of year, so when I saw this week's color challenge, I HAD to play along! ♡♡♡♡♡
I added lots of texture by layering the leaves (which were cut by hand after stamping them on their matching cardstock), using foam mounting tape for the vanilla and Hardwood panels behind them, sponging Soft Suede on the edges and corners of the rear panel, and then wetting the Old Olive strip and crumpling it up before allowing to dry and sponging ink on it to bring out the wrinkles. I also added another, close-up view of this card in my gallery to show more of the glimmer on the vellum, embossing, and leaf: CT0917 DDSKETCH0917 CC653 Autumnal Anniversary close-up by DancesWithHooves at Splitcoaststampers (it's cloudy and wet today, so tough to get a good single picture!)
This card is for my brother- and sister-in-law's anniversary this week, hence the "our home to yours" sentiment on the card front. ;)
These were all such fun challenges, and even more fun when I combined them!
Thanks so much for looking!
Blessings,
C
