This is my take on the Challenge.....I did do fall colours...but combined it with a much needed birthday card, so that was my verse.
What an awesome fun card to do....there is no way the camera could cover the depth of this card....
I started with the card base, and added SU Cajaun Craze, which I ran through the Big shot with the EF wood folder, and had added chocolate chip on the Ef with a stamp pad, by swiping the pad on the EF.
EF is Embossing Folder.
Then I took cardboard, and spritzed gold Mist, on it and rubbed chocolate chip on it after, and laid that under the Curry, swiped with chocolate chip, CS which I ran through the EF.
I stamped and painted the frame...cut it out and laid on the Birthday greeting...added the ribbon, leaves & the flower...
I finally got to use these bright orange flowers...yahhh...good for fall!!

Ooooooo....yahhh....girl, you know I love this too! B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l brown, and texture galore! Mercy, you sure worked those MS branches to hug on those purdy lil roses. Distressing, golden mist...this has to be even more gorgeous IRL. Over the top beautiful my friend, I can see John is dear to your heart, it shows on this paper! Lymi, hugs.....
