Fall Leaves

It's Wednesday and that means it's time for another Diva's Coffee Break Design Challenge.  I chuckle every time I write that name because I'm not a coffee drinker.  I hope that doesn't mean I'm off the design team.  LOL!  This week Heidi gave us this fun color challenge to work with.

 
I thought the colors were perfect for a fall card so I pulled out my "Best Wishes and More" stamp set and made this card.

I stamped the leaves in craft ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and then embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I cut them out and adhered them to the card with dimensionals.  As you can see in the photo, I embossed a few extra leaves so I added those to the inside of my card.

Each of the leaves is layered on a piece of Cameo Coral cardstock that I stamped with the Sanded background stamp using Bravo Burgundy ink.  I also sponged the same color ink around the edges.  I then layered the Cameo Coral cardstock on a piece of Bravo Burgundy cardstock. 

The sentiment running across the bottom of the card is also from the "Best Wishes and More" stamp set.  I rotated through my Bravo Burgundy, Close to Cocoa, and Always Artichoke markers to color each word before stamping it.  I finished the card with a piece of Bravo Burgundy wide grosgrain ribbon.

We'd love to have you play along and try this color challenge.  If you upload to SCS, please use the keyword DCBD102 (no space between DCBD and 102) so we can find your creation.  Be sure to check out the blogs of the other design team members to see their creations.

This is a great use of the colors Dannie! You are a master with your scissors!

Who would have thought these colors would inspire an autumn card? Beautiful techniques and a very lovely result.

[Connie]

Great card! I love it...

Dannie - I don't drink coffee (often) so no I don't think its a prerequisite to be a member :)

You did a beautiful job on the card, the colors really pop!

I really love your card. I have found that I really like the look of the darker ink on the cardstock. I notice that most of the stampers that are more on the professional level tend to do that. I usually like Gretchen Baron (spelling may be incorrect)because she tends to use that technique often.

You always amaze me with your beautiful cards. It is so fun to see what you will come up with next!
