It's my pleasure to be your hostess in the Color Challenge this week. I've chosen some fall colors, although I am definitely not ready to say farewell to summer; the Seattle rains will come soon enough!
The colors this week are Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow, with the dessert option of Early Autumn. I used Bristol paper to heat emboss my three leaves, then sponged the Distress Oxide colors on them, blending two of the colors on each leaf. I fussy cut them out and arranged them on a piece of DS paper with a white wood pattern, stamped the sentiment and some splatters, added a few Nuvo drops, and attached to a Cajun Craze base.
This card is a sort-of sympathy card for (follow along now) my daughter's mother-in-law, whose grandson recently died in a tragic car accident. I've already expressed my condolences, but since she's been on my mind, I decided to send another card.
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us this week!

Gorgeous card Barbara! The leaves are so pretty scattered on the bark background and the splatter and nuvo drops draw the eye around the entire card. Wonderful card to express your caring for the sad occasion.
Yup, not ready for the rains to start either but I do love the autumn colors!
