Welcome
This card features an ‘oldie but goodie’ wood block stamp by a local stamp maker. The background was water coloured using Distress Inks then heat embossed using Copper embossing powder. I finished it with a similarly shaped leaf shape and sentiment also copper heat embossed.
I hope this photo shows a little better how pretty the copper embossing really is. Unfortunately, it causes a bit of glare when the light hits it at many angles.

Oh, the shimmer and shine of your gorgeous leaves, sporting their fall coppery colours, has me swooning! Oak and maple leaves are my favourites; the first remind me of my dad, who was the sturdy oak in our family (miss him deeply), while the maples make my Canadian heart smile! Thrilled that you shared this lovely card in the STAMPlorations CAS gallery!

I’m so pleased to hear my card brought such wonderful memories for you Carol. I have a maple (liquid amber ) tree in my backyard and it is just getting its beautiful leaves back for summer. So few of our trees loose their leaves – I just love to watch the turning every year. Thanks so much for your kind comments.
