I switched to a square card and changed the orientation of the center rectangle panel for today's sketch. The trees were stamped on glossy white card stock and embossed in gold ep. I sponged on the colors over the trees after embossing; one of my all-time favorite tecniques is emboss resist.
I should have paid more attention when I photographed this ~ the embossed greeting doesn't show well at all - whoops! It says "Happy Thanksgiving"
Nice sketch today, Allison : )

Beautiful card with a nature/autumn feeling, Claudia. Your image panel is lovely with the gold embossing and the warm colors. The bg DP carries through the nature theme and the patterned strips are perfect.

You make autumn look so inviting, Claudia! Beautiful autumn card using such pretty colors. I like the brad on one corner. I have this paper and have never used it, but now that I see what you've done, I need to give it a try~

Lovely, lovely Fall colors. I had to go back to see the brad in the scooped out corner. It's a nice touch!

I'm seeing some older SU stamps sets today in the gallery. Have always loved this one. The sponged colors are gorgeous, and your papers are perfection. Beautiful!!

One of my favourite stamps and so beautifully highlighted with your emboss resist technique! I could be sad seeing autumn cards creeping into the galleries but not when they look wonderful like this! :-)
