Interesting Color Challenge today. Not a real easy combo to make a fall card, IMHO. I could see a Christmas card, but I needed to make a fall card. So..I used the acrylic block tech (TLC399 )on the long strip down the left w/ the rich cocoa ink. Then I sponged the 2 blue distress inks getting darker as it went down until the bottom where I sponged more of the cocoa ink. Then I stamped the leaves with the red ink and added some white dots w/ a gel pen.
On the turquoise panel, I stamped the leaf background image with the tumbled glass then the sentiment with the red. On the leaves, I sponged the inks onto a white strip then stamped them w/ the cocoa ink and die cut. A big button and raffia bow were added above the leaves. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
Thanks so much for looking! It's also on my blog: The Write Stuff

Wow, Julie, this is a gorgeous card!! Love the technique you used on the left hand panel with the sponging and the adding of the white gel dots. Your die cut leaves have such wonderful colour and love the addition of the raffia!!

Such a beautiful leaf!! The sentiment is kind of sad though - but I love this!
