To create the background, I adhered the four different colors of card stock to a piece of printer paper and then embossed it with the Diamond Warp embossing folder.
I was blessed with this stamp set of Thoughtful Branches and thought it was perfect for this sketch stamping the trio of trees. I added the three falling leaves and popped up the sentiment with foam tape.
Thanks for the challenge and thanks for looking.

Great ideas for the sketch. I like the neutral browns and how you put it together & then embossed. Fabulous! Nice trees for the middle. I like the leaf embellishments.

Your embossed background of layered neutrals creates such a rich sense of depth and texture, and I love how the trio of trees stands out so clearly against it with the soft leaves adding movement while the raised sentiment brings a perfect finishing touch.
