Diane is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she is getting us in the mood for autumn with her palette of Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow and Mango Melody. The dessert option is "gold."
I so rarely get to use DS paper with the Color Challenge, but this week my stash came through for me with Color Me Autumn, a long-retired paper pack. And when I use DS paper, one of my favorite ways to use it is to make a Double-Z Fold card. My favorite tutorial for this fold is from Lisa Curcio. Thank you, Lisa!
I also used a favorite technique to get all the colors on my stamped autumn leaves, the baby wipe technique (description available in our tutorials section).
And since I always want dessert, I cut the hello greeting from gold foil paper.
I'm looking forward to seeing all the beautiful autumn cards that this palette will evoke. Please join us and post your creation in the gallery for us all to admire!

Barbara your fun fold is a beauty and it makes your creation that much more special! It's been a long time since I've created a card using the baby wipe technique, I must give it a try again! Also, I must agree it's a mini blessing to find a piece of designer paper that works with the Color Challenge, your gem here worked awesomely!

Beautifully done z fold with the baby wipe technique. Thanks for sending me to the tutorials. I had heard of that technique but wasn’t sure how to do it.

Beautiful autumnal card, Barbara! I love the baby wipe technique, but my baby wipes have all dried up since I have no baby to use them on! Your Z fold looks Great as well as the leaves you've stamped (and I see we used the same set)~

This is so pretty Barbara! I always like a fun fold card and like you I use DSP with them. I haven’t tried the baby wipe technique but need to look that up. Your leaves are beautiful!
