A fall leaf embossed card that really became a challenge for me to complete! I used a piece of Gina K Designs Pure Luxury Grateful Heart patterned paper and embossed it with SimonSaysStamp’s Fall Foliage embossing folder. Well since the patterned paper was on the darker side, I took some white pigment ink and swipe over the raised areas to bring out the leaves…..that really didn’t work so I added some dark brown ink….better but not enough so the final swipe of ink was TE’s tropical punch. It kind of gave a patina vibe to the panel. Still not satisfied, I cut a piece of ivory carstock which is the same as the note card and embossed it, then die cut it with Taylored Expressions All Planned Out 1 die set, ran the bottom section back through the embossing folder once again. Better! Added a strip of cardstock over the seam of the two panels, tucked in some leaves left over from TE’s Awesome Autumn stencil/die from a previous project and TE sentiments from by stash.
My “phew finally finished” card will be shared with:
Can You Handle the Pressure: Anything Goes with a Twist of Fall Harvest (anthing Fall) and the required embossing folder (SSS Fall Foliage)
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and stay safe.

Nice fall card design.
Lovely autumn card. I don’t think I’d have thought to use and embossing folder on pattern paper but it really works here. You have definitely handled the pressure and nailed the challenge.
I saw this technique somewhere about embossing over patterned papers and though I would give it a try. It’s a good way to use up my overflowing amount of patterned papers.

Great job! Your embossing is so pretty with all of the colors.
Thanks Lisa.

Another very lovely fall card Gayle. You have been a busy gal.
Thanks Gerry. I’ve been staying up watching baseball playoffs even though my team bombed out again.
Wow, you sure had to work at this one, but it was worth it. The card is lovely.
Thanks, Johanna, it was a challenge for sure.
