FALL



Cuttlebug embossing folders are all the rage and I used a leaf to embellish this card. The background was created by using two Nick Bantock ink pads swiping the lightest shade first and highlighting with the darker shade using alcohol on a cotton ball to blend the colors.

For the contrast for the leaf, I reversed the colors and swiped the darker pad first and then the lighter shade. The cardstock was first crumpled into a ball and ironed flat to create a texture.

This card is absolutely stunning. I love the way you used the embossed image to highlight the card.
