Good morning! I finally have a card to share! It's been a long time since I played along with an Embellish Color Challenge, but I couldn't resist this one.
These rich fall colors are so fantastic together. I pulled out PTI's Harvest Berries to use the beautiful ginkgo leaves. I stamped the larger images in Ripe Avocado onto a kraft card base. Then I added some texture with the Linen & Canvas impression plate to the entire card front and selectively debossed a strip at the bottom with the Woodgrain plate.
Two strips of Enchanted Evening cardstock ground the design and a sentiment from PTI's 2009 Autumn Tags.
I die cut the small ginkgo leaves from Rustic Cream cardstock and stamped them with Ripe Avocado, then popped them up with foam tape and tucked them behind a Scarlet Jewel button. A few randomly stamped red berries are the finishing touch.
All supplies from Papertrey Ink unless noted

Stamps: Harvest Berries, 2009 Autumn Tags
Ink: Ripe Avocado, Enchanted Evening, Chianti (Clearsnap)
