Day 2: Autumn Splendor Card Kit

Welcome back to our September inspiration hops, it's Day 2! As usual, Gina is giving away a $50 gift certificate to one lucky commenter! Thank you in advance for your comments as you hop along, and best of luck in winning the GC! 
You should be coming from Susie's blog.


Today we are showcasing the new Autumn Splendor Card Kit

For these first cards I enjoyed using some fall colors for the greetings and leaves, Faded Brick, Prickly Pear, I can almost hear them skittering down the street looking at these beautiful prints! On the card on the left I used Gina K. Embossing ink and Rose Gold embossing powder for the sentiment and top layer of the leaf. This color  powder looks gorgeous with an autumnal pallete.Looks so elegant! The one on the right I used the colored inks for a gradient, Pure Luxury White is the perfect clean backdrop.
Next, have fun with these two step leaves and a Wreath Builder template!  Leaves are stamped in GKD Sea Glass and Tranquil Teal.
These images look beautiful in any color, so I really wanted to show something nontraditional, enjoy them year-round.
Finally, to go with this *awesome* greeting, I thought I should do some next level coloring on this flower!  Why stick to one color for petals? I used alcphol markers and cardstock is Black Onyx, White, and Sea Glass Pure Luxury.  I lightly blended on some Sea Glas ink with a Life Changing Blending Brush to suggest a blue sky. The wony offset layers are appropriate with this flower that dances to its own drum. :)
