Fall Color Birthday Card


This is a card for a senior. She likes autumn colors. I I used four colors of the orange family, namely dried marigold, spiced marmalade, rusty hinge and ripe persimmon, for the card. I am entering this card to the following challenges:

1. Mixed Media Worlds: MMW#7 Anything Goes with Autumn Colours
2. The Mixed Media Card Challenge #16 - Black and Orange
                
3. Simon Says Monday Challenge, Autumn Is In The Air

4. Seize the Birthday, Anything Goes Birthday
 
5. That Craft Place Mixed Media Anything Goes
6. House of Cards, October Challenge: Add Texture &/or Color Inspiration
            
7. Time Out Challenges #41- Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile

Card Details

1. Stamps are by Hero Arts. Stencil is by Simon Says stamp and die cut is by Tim Holtz/Sizzix. Gold embossing paste is by Wendy Vecchi/Ranger.
2. I die cut the Falling Hearts (by Simon Says) to create my own stencil.

I just came back from a long trip and can’t wait to catch up with more inklings and stampings. Oh, I must say this card is warm and gorgeous, with the family of orange colors and gold tiny hearts. Hope this card is eye-pleasing to you. Thanks for stopping by.
