This is for today's sketch challenge, SC248. Image was stamped & embossed. I created my own designer paper from a piece of tan designer paper with swirls--it was ugly so I sponged on blobs of colors, stamped leaves all over, sprayed with gold glimmer mist, then ran it through the Cuttlebug in an embossing folder.

Oh, this is SOOO gorgeous!! I had to laugh at your creative way to use 'ugly' paper - lol! You've inspired me to re-look at some of my less desirable designs. :-)

Where oh where to begin?! I love the embossed leaves. the bg cb is wonderful. That bow with the cord tied to it is beautiful. Placing the brads on the ribbon is a terrific idea........and so hard to do without totally wrecking the ribbon. The dp you made is so pretty. Your piercing is so straight..I have trouble with that. Did I leave anything out? Oh yeah, the color combination is Fall personified. Can you tell I LOVE this Mel???
