SOS273 Leafy Thanks Card

This week at Shopping Our Stash  we have a color challenge - here are the colors we are using:

and here is my card:

I used an older Stampin Up stamp set called French Foliage. Stamped the leaves on watercolor paper with Versamark, embossed them with white embossing powder and then played with inks in the background. I used some SU and some Tim Holtz inks. Then I just added more colored stamping and adhered the sentiment.

Oh-La-La Creations - shades of Autumn
Dragonfly Journey - fall colors
