Here's what I came up with:
I started with a background using Winter Wisteria cs and ink with last months Text & Texture: Leaves stamp. Rather than just a cluster of gilded leaves, I decided to make a wreath and decorate it with the leaves and a few flowers. I used the Rustic Wreath die and then added the copper, platinum, & gold embossing powders. It looked pretty but it was missing something, and I think it's the last step of stamping over the top of the embossing like Laurie shows in her video. I did decide to leave it plain though and focus on the leaves from Leave It Be and Leaf Prints. The larger leaf in the center I stamped on Scarlet Jewel cs to tie in with the flowers from Farmer's Market that I wanted to add. I also added a little bit of WOW Verdigris embossing enamel on the center leaf to add a bit more color. The smaller leaves on each side were stamped on Winter Wisteria cs and embossed with the copper, platinum, & gold embossing powders. I set my wreath die cut off center and then added the larger frame from the Pierced Feature Frames...I love these frames!!
Hopefully you can see the shine a bit better in this close up photo. To finish I added a piece of twine and a Tiny Tag that was also stamped with the Text & Texture: Leaves stamp set. Kind of different colors for a fall card, but I really like the way it turned out!
Make sure to check out Laurie's lovely card and great video (HERE) and then play along. It's a FUN challenge!! :0)
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
