Sweater weather = fall and I think of plaid and leaves changing colors when I think of fall.  So I went with that! I used the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder to make a plaid background ... and stamped some leaves before I embossed.  The leaf was sponged with some ink (Peach Pie & Lemon Lime Twist) before die-cut & embossed.  The stamps & die-cuts are from the Changing Leaves Bundle. 

This card is prettier in person, if I do say so myself.  Part of that is because the gold embossing is so pretty and adds such a fun detail.  It is hard to capture that in a photo.  But I daubed some VersaMark onto the leaf image after the ink I blended on had dried.  Then added some gold embossing powder & heat set it.  It is so pretty! 

 




Love all the little details of this card!  What do you think?!  What does the theme "Sweater Weather" make you think of?!  We can't wait to see!  Head on over to the TGIF Challenge Blog & play along with us!
