The "Joseph's coat" emboss resist technique has been on my "to do" list for awhile and thought that autumn leaves might be the perfect way to use it.
I randomly sponged mustard seed, spiced marmalade and crushed olive DI inks on a white piece of card. After it was dry, I stamped the leaves with Versamark and clear embossed. Then covered the whole background with ground espresso DO. Used a wonky stitched die to cut the piece and mounted on a dark cream base. The sentiment was cut from gold cs and a few gold sequins were added to finish it off.
I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for my basic design. The leaves are from Gina K. where the challenge this month is autumn leaves. Used items from the Festive Friday challenge - gold, green, brown, leaves and stitching. My card also fits CASology's theme of September.
Love that technique & you choose great colors for the leaves, Betty!
