Check out that beautiful, embossed background! I used the one with leaves from the Seasonal Cheers set of 3 embossing folder. I then swiped copper ink across the raised the surface.

The Metallics Effects strip of paper on the bottom of the card was cut with a die from Elegant Leaves to achieve that woodgrain look.

For the leaves, I started with a Basic White piece of paper. I then used a blending brush and added the following colors: Cherry Cobbler, Timid Tiger, Crushed Curry, Peaceful Pine, and Cajun Craze. This piece was then stamped in VersaMark with the stamp from Elegant Leaves and heat embossed with copper embossing powder.



The leaves were then cut out with the coordinating dies.

Here are the gorgeous leaves that were cut from the above piece. Every time you blend the colors for the leaves, you end up with an entirely different looking set of leaves.
