Hi crafty friends! It' time for a new color duo at the at the Color Hues Color Challenge! Challenge #142 has been chosen by our fabulous teammate Stef Perry ! She chose Amber and Burnt Red for the colours this challenge
For my card I used the Catherine Pooler's Fall Finds stamp set. I created a background of amber and burnt red leaves using Catherine Pooler Inks. Like most people I'm concerned about how fast AI is taking hold. However, what I am enjoying is how helpful AI can be with little things. I put in a Google search for catherine Pooler Inks in the colours of Amber and Burnt Red! It spilled out Sauna and Terracotta from the Spa Collection. So that is what I used. I popped some dots in a few of the open spaces for a bit more detail.
One I had stamped all of my leaves I trimmed my panel down to 5 1/4" x 4". Then the panel as glued to a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" panel of Burnt Red cardstock with liquid glue. What a difference it made when the leaf panel was matted to the darker background!
I stamped the sentiment from the same set, on a piece of white cardstock. I cut the sentiment out with a circle die and added it to the lower right of the card front with foam tape.
Canadian Thanksgiving is coming up fast. This year it is on Monday, October 12th. I have made a few cards this year but not as many as I usually make. I have found that it has taken me some time to get bak to my normal swing of doing things since the wedding. Can you believe that they have been married for 2 months already and still smiling!
If you haven't had a chance to visit the Color Hues Color Challenge yet to see what my amazing teammates have made for this challenge, I hope you take some time to visit.
Thanks for stopping in and have a wonderful day!

Absolutely beautiful Tracey, although I have to tell you my favorite part of this card is the sentiment! Totally brings back fun memories of jumping in the bazillion leaves my dad used to rake up every fall! Sweet, sweet card my friend...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
Jump in the leaves? It's my favorite Fall thing to do! And I never tire of seeing all the wonderful leaves you have in your collection, Tracey!

Such a cute autumn card, Tracey!
Awesome card and wonderful photo too! I don't think the leaves will be on the ground before I leave California, but jumping in them did sound rather fun.
Yes to jumping in the leaves - and we have quite a few in the back yard to do so!
Love your scattered leaves background; a perfect card for Fall and, of course, our challenge.
hugs~c
Such a delightful card!!! Your sentiment is perfect and the font just adds to the whimsical nature of this card. Love it!
Gorgeous card, Tracey! I love the pretty paper you created... could be pattern paper! Love it!
Your falling leaves are so pretty, Tracey! Love the fun sentiment too! It brings back fond memories of the kids playing in the leaves!
Such a pretty card with a super fun sentiment!
I love the style of those leaves, and they look wonderful in the background you created Tracey! The red matte really does make the stamped panel pop. And I had to laugh at the sentiment, what a fun thing to send off to a friend! Love this!
I'm dragging my feet on the whole AI thing but you just gave me an idea for when I'm ready to jump in. This is beautiful and I can't wait for ours to turn here.
Your autumnal falling leaves are the perfect theme for this colour duo Tracey, fab card. :)
YES lets just jump...so much fun love this happy card.
