Pam MacKay is hosting this week's color challenge, and she selected a beautiful color combination of Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, and Cherry Cobbler for her challenge. Her desert is to show gratitude. Providing blessings is a show of gratitude to me.
I used SU Markers and a leaf stamp from the SU Autumn Splendor stamp set to create the focal point on my card. I used SU markers (the three selected colors) to color and stamp the leaf onto white card stock.
Subsequently, I covered the leaf with VersaMark ink, stamped the image again, and applied and heat set Clear Embossing Powder. I used two circle dies to cut out the leaf and a frame.
I embossed, adhered together, and wrapped with a fall leaves ribbon the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd panels. I attached them to the white card stock. I adhered the leaf and its frame over the ribbon. I added three tiny leaves that match the type of the large leaf around the right side of the focal point. Candy dots, a bow, and a white embossed sentiment complete the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by to view my card. Comments are greatly appreciated!!

Oh my goodness Bev, what a gorgeous Fall card this is. Your main leaf is just stunning the way you have colored it. The embossed bg really highlights your amazing leaf panels. The sparkly little leaves, the brads and your touches of ribbon really make this one very special card. ~Karen.

The leaf in your focal point simply pops with coloring of the three markers and clear heat embossing. The embossed background and three small leaves add such a nice accent. Very pretty Bev!
