Coloring Down the Lines – Gold Fall

Happy Mid Week Everyone!

Another productive day yesterday.  I got another project finished and my cards made for my retirement village ladies.  I am hoping to finish up another project today and do a few other things that I need to get done.

Today is the Coloring Down the Lines blog hop.  This week the colors were chosen by me.  When I saw this photo it just said warm yummy Fall.

Since I was working under a time constraint, I knew I would need a sketch challenge to begin.  I checked out several challenge blogs and found a great sketch challenge at Try Stampin’ On Tuesday

When I looked at this I immediately thought about flipping it and was thinking of the background piece as snow.  Well I did not go in that direction.  Instead I opted for a fall theme.  For the background piece I decided to use the woodgrain embossing folder.  After I had embossed it I want the grain to show up more so I ran my pad across the embossed pieces.  Now I had to address the center panel.  I decided to use the leaves in the Perpetual Birthday Calendar set and stamp them in the other colors.  After I had the panel stamped, I felt it needed a layer so I pulled out my Cherry Cobbler and added the layer.  I then put my card together and it still needed something so I added a strip of gold glimmer paper as we all know everything is better with some sparkle!  I was pleased with my finished card.  Here is my creation.
