I’m back with another CAS Autumn themed card.
More leaves, this time from Papertrey Ink’s “Lovely Leaves” which has not had anywhere near enough love! I smooshed Distress Inks in Crushed Olive, Dried Marigold, and Spiced Marmelade on my glass mat, added a spritz of water and then laid down a piece of watercolor paper. Once it dried, I gold embossed the leaves and fussy cut them out.
The colors weren’t quite as bright as I wanted so I used a small paintbrush and added a bit more of the oranges to the leaves. I used my well-loved “Crimped Frames” from The Greetery to die cut a piece of Gina K’s Asparagus cardstock. It’s become my favorite green. The sentiment from Pretty Pink Posh was embossed in gold in the lower right corner and I arranged the leaves in the upper right corner, leaving plenty of open space. I added thin gold bow and attached it to a cream card base.
This is my first entry to the Addicted to CAS Challenge: Autumn, and my second entry into the Inspired By . . . Colorful Fall Challenge.
Beautiful Fall CAS card 🙂 !!! Love it! Thank you for joining us!
Karen, I adore GinaK’s asparagus card! It’s a perfect place for your lovely smooshed leaves to ‘hang out!’ So happy to see them hanging out with us at IB, too! Thank you!

A stunning card – excellent colouring of leaves, they look so real.
I love your smooshing! The extra touches of gold really perk up on that luscious green!
This is a beautifully done card, Karen. The gold embossing really enhances the leaves and they’re set off nicely against the green background. Thank you for sharing this with us at Addicted to CAS!
