This is my card for CC912. LeAnn is our hostess and she chose crushed curry, poppy parade and garden green for her color trio. Dessert option this week is fall.
I decided to make a Thanksgiving card with these beautiful colors. For my leaves, I first die-cut my leaves from Bristol smooth cardstock and then sponged barn door and fozzilized amber distress ink. these colors are a good match for the Stampin' Up shades.
I pressed them in Ranger Perfect Medium and then used clear embossing powder. This technique makes the leaves really pop. It's a technique I picked up from Kittie aka Kittie747.
My background paper is from an older Paper Pumpkin kit- Gift of Fall. The sentiment is from the same kit. Finished off my card with a few crushed curry enamel dots. First Thanksgiving card of the season is done.
Hope you can play along with these beautiful fall colors.
