I'm celebrating the first day of fall that will officially be here tomorrow - September 22 - by creating this card for two different challenges...the Retrosketches Challenge and the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge - to use fall colors and at least one leaf. The finished size is 5 1/4" square.
I had this leftover leaf from a previous project; it was sponged with Tangerine Tango, Cajun Craze and just a teeny touch of Chocolate Chip inks. I then pressed the leaf on a Versamark pad and then added clear embossing powder. This was repeated the second time to give a thicker, glossier look.
Here's what I used...
STAMPS: Seasons of Change (leaf) by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, Gorgeous Grunge (background) by SU, Happy Fall (sentiment) by Verve.
PAPER: Bermuda Bay, Smoky Slate, White.
ACCESSORIES: Leaf die by Sweet 'n Sassy; Grosgrain ribbon by SU; Sequins by Avery Elle; Clear embossing powder; Foam dots.

You know that smell? That perfect first woodstove and cold air smell? That's exactly where this card takes me. I love the shiny embossing. I can almost imagine seeing this is the pond, a little gift from mother nature. Beautiful work!
