Karen is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she has given us some beautiful fall colors: Poppy Parade, Crushed Curry, Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake. The dessert option is "anything goes." My dessert option is DS paper.
I used elements from the November 2023 Simon Says Stamp card kit for my card. I dry embossed the leafy background on Poppy Parade cardstock and mounted it on a Crumb Cake card base. I cut the label from the DS paper and threaded some gold cord through the hole at the side. I stamped the greeting phrases on white cardstock, heat embossed, and fussy cut them out. I stamped two leaves using the challenge colors and the "rock and roll" technique to get some contrasting color on the outside of my leaves. Popped the label up on foam tape and added a little gold bow and some sequins, and called it done!
What beautiful autumn colors Karen has given us. Please make a project using them and post it in the gallery for us all to admire!

This is such a pretty Fall themed card Barbara and a great way to let someone know you are thinking of them. I like the subtle embossing on the poppy background.

What beautiful designer paper! Love your idea of threading your gold cord through your label. You've created a gorgeous fall card!

Gorgeous! Love how you used the challenge colors with such fabulous embossing, layering and elements. I like the wispy gold thread and the shape of the tag. Great card!
