The calendar may say September (BTW, how did THAT happen?!) but it's nowhere near fall temperatures here in Florida! So, I was glad for the opportunity to pretend with LeAnne's pretty fall palette.
I knew that I wanted to use my all-time favorite leaf stamp...Vintage Leaves...and I couldn't wait to see them embossed in copper. The delicate detail of the embossing really shows up on the colored leaves.
I stamped the leaves on Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz, heat embossed with copper ep and cut them out with the coordinating Leaflit Thinlits. So pretty! I tried the leaves on several different background neutrals and really liked the way they popped on Basic Black [retired] DSP.
A little swirl of new black metallic thread helps pull together the DSP and the sentiment. I think this card will go for a male colleague with an October birthday. MAYBE by then it will feel like fall around here!

Beautiful leaves! They really pop off the black background and I really like how you arranged them on your card.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Nance, I too love the Vintage Leaf stamp set, such detail and they look fabulous with the copper ep. A lovely Fall card!
ReplyDeleteNancy, I LOVE this card! The beautiful copper embossed leaves are gorgeous! Your card screams FALL even if we aren't anywhere near cooler weather in the south. Have a great week, My Friend! XX
ReplyDeleteNance,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great card with the pairing of the Large Leaves and the Large Font!
Love the copper embossing as well. So FALL for sure. I agree the black DSP and black thread really connect the whole theme. Very nice and great for a masculine card too. Hugs.
Your embossed leaves just pop on that background! So elegant and gorgeous. I NEED some of that copper embossing powder...on my wish list now. Awesome card:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...stunning...Elegant! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Nance!! Love the fall colours and of course the leaves - soon to be turning on the trees in my neck of the woods. Trust all is well with you ((hugs))!
ReplyDeleteNowhere near fall temperatures here in NY either, Nance! One can wish though... Love your beautiful fall card, and that copper embossing is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, these colors with the copper are striking on the black. This is truly lovely!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Nance - those embossed leaves are so striking against the black. A perfect sentiment placement too!
