Today's card began with a piece of white cardstock, sponged with peeled paint, fired brick and marmalade distress inks. I took an old wooden leaf stamp, sprayed it with water and stamped the image into the inks. I die-cut it with a stitched square and matted it on some green cardstock, adding 3 gold brads to the bottom. The orange panel was embossed with a Darice autumn leaves ef, and the sentiment panel and card base were embossed with stitched rectangle dies. The sentiment was heat embossed with white ep.
I'm sharing this with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge which is "Thanksgiving or a Thank you card."
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day!

What a fabulous Fall card, Carol! Love your leaf image and that embossed panel. Love the pops of gold from your 3 little brads and those Stitched dies! This card shines brightly on this beautiful Fall day! Well done! Hope you enjoy the day, my friend!! :)
Love those three Distress colors together. The black sentiment panel really makes everything pop. Beautiful card. Enjoy your day.
Is that what they call the ghosting technique? That's a nifty look. I like the embossing on your middle layer. Cool card!
You always stunning me! Your water-leaf stamp is a delight as focal point!! Love the background and the gorgous embossed panels!!
Absolutely lovely Carol. What great colours and I love the ghosting. Barbxx

This is a perfect thanksgiving card. The white words over the black background works great with the autumn colors. Great card!
I'm behind in commenting (uh-gin), so I've scrolled through the posts, enjoying the designs and of course the papers you select to go with the motifs. Just had to say how much I love this one, with the rich fall colors. (of course the stitch-y dies too). Amazing ghosting on this leaf, something I just have not yet mastered with that technique. It really is a beautiful fall card. Happy Sunday. Hugs
