Ink Blended Falling Leaves

I combined three challenges and used a few different techniques for today's card. I started with Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #400. They had a lovely fall themed image. The colors of Creative Colour Challenge #60; Evening Evergreen, Flirty Flamingo and Cajun Craze could combine well for fall leaves. The Paper Players Sketch Challenge #614 had a great sketch to showcase patterned paper.  

 
I started with blending the three colors onto the leaf design of Rustic Harvest DSP. The reverse of this piece is the Cajun Craze I used as a background layer. Both pieces of DSP were backed with Flirty Flamingo.

A strip of Evening Evergreen was embossed with Timeworn Type embossing folder. This was placed across the card to match the card base.

The leaves from Hello Harvest were layered with color using sponge daubers and stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock. They were cut using the coordinating Rustic Pumpkin dies. 

The Brushed Metallic acorn was cut using the Tree Rings dies.

The sentiment is from the stamp set, Art Gallery.

I finished the card with a linen thread bow.

Thanks for looking at my card. Be sure to check out the other entries in these challenges.

Happy Stamping!

    What a lovely fall card, Suzanne! The ink blended leaves are so pretty, and the leaves with acorn make a perfect focal point. Cajun Craze and Evening Evergreen look awesome together. Thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!
