I have to say, I'm not really happy with how this card turned out. I started it with one of those feelings you get when you're feeling really creative and really confident about it, but the end result just didn't match the enthusiasm I started with. BUT, that said, these were great sketch and color challenges again and I DID have fun! (I don't own or have access to Fresh Fig, so substituted with Elegant Eggplant.)
Thanks so much for looking!

Ha, well said, I know that feeling all too well, lol.....I think this is lovely. Great paper and embossed leaves over the oval cut out. Wonderful twine treatment on the bottom!

It is a lovely card for both the color and sketch challenges. I know how you feel with the process, often what I create isn't really what I envisioned in my mind, but I think your card turned out quite pretty. Your gold embossed leaves are beautiful!

Oh, yes I know how that goes. 😉 But while this may not have turned out as you planned, I think it's fabulous with the stamped background and gorgeous gold embossed leaves. So glad you were able to join the color challenge this week!

What a gorgeous Autumn colour scheme you've used today! I love the touches of gold embossing too! Truly a beautiful card. Thanks for playing along with the sketch challenge this week!
