This is post 2 of 2…click HERE for my Your Next Stamp Fun Friday Challenge
If you know me, you know that I love a good challenge. I don’t know what I would do without all the various challenge blogs out there. It’s definitely overwhelming trying to keep up with everything. Personally, I think challenges should all for for 2 weeks.
Anywho’s this card is based on a couple challenges. Hopefully you can spot the one right away.
cardstock: pti, paper accents/vellum stamps: precious remembrance/fall colors, reverse confetti/forever fall ink: fresh ink/charcoal, gold embossing powder, your next stamp/gold nugget gum drops
If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know how much I love fall inspired cards. So I was thrilled to have won the Precious Remembrance Fall Colors set. Even though the images are fine detailed, I love how those leaves look embossed in gold.
The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti’s Forever Fall set. I stamped it in Fresh Ink Charcoal. I thought gold would have been too much and I’m loving the Charcoal.
So, Vicki’s card over on Muse inspired me:
My fall inspired card is ala

Phenomenal. The gold embossing is stunning Amy.

Love your card, Amy! So, so very elegant and such a cool design. The gold embossing and charcoal background are gorgeous!
I agree … they should be once every 2 weeks or once a month .. too hard for me to craft during the week, so I miss out on a lot of places to play! 🙂 I loveeeeeeee this!!! LOVING those leaves … FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful card…and I agree: two week challenges helps creativity bloom. I need all the 'time' I can get (says she, who often gets her card in at the last moment).
