Autumn Splendor

I have slowly been getting all the wonderful sets that are available in the Holiday Mini. Autumn Splendor was not on my original must have list but it didn't take long before I HAD to have it!! It is a stunning set that has a realistic feel to it!

So I was playing around with it for a bit and just had to try it with embossing and sponging and I came up with this little beauty!!!

I just love it!!! What do you think?? I am considering entering it into Shelli's challenge for this month.

I used the copper embossing powder from when SU! used to sell it. If you look at the close up you will see that I sponged several different colors to achieve the natural look of fall leaves, which were Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango and Soft Suede . I used the swirly texturz plate from Perfect Details to dry emboss the more mustard background piece. The sentiment is from the level 1 hostess set Holiday Best. I layered each piece with dimensionals to add more depth to the card. The card measures a bit larger than the standard being 5 1/4 x 4 3/4. Happy Stamping!!
