Falling For Wednesdays IG Hop - week 3

Happy Hump Day friends; I'm back for this week's instalment of the Falling for Wednesdays IG Hop organised by my lovely friend Kelly and we are already at Week 3!  This week is 'Leaf Peeping' so we want to see all your autumn leaves.  

I didn't have much time to create this week so although I had lots of ideas I kept it fairly simple.  Here is my card:

a closer look:

once again I decorated the inside:

I began by embossing a white panel with a falling leaves embossing folder which I then adhered to a very dark burgundy card panel mat.  This was then added to the card base with double sided tape.  I used an ephemera sheet and matching die plate to cut out all the leaves and arranged them in a wreath shape onto my embossed background using thin foam squares.  I die cut a stitched and plain circle from the same white and burgundy card and stamped my sentiment onto the white circle (I did some masking as I couldn't fit the 'so' word onto my circle); I then added this into the centre of my wreath with a double stacked foam square.  I finished off with some gold pearls and my card was complete.  A really simple card but I love it!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Little Red Wagon challenge - square or rectangle (I used to make square cards all the time but now it's mostly rectangle A2 cards)

Color Throwdown challenge - orange, red, maroon and gold

Unicorn challenge - layer it up

Creative Inspirations challenge - sentimental

Can You Handle The Pressure challenge - use an embossing folder/option poppies

Incy Wincy Designs challenge - colours of autumn +/- not a square or rectangle

Dream Valley challenges - dry embossing

NBUS challenge - never used the autumn splendor ephemera & die plate before

I hope you can pop over to Instagram and check out the hop.  As always please use the hashtag #ffwcardgroup23 to see all the participants and for us to find your creations if you'd like to join in the fun.  

Enjoy the rest of your day and thank you so much for stopping by. 

Love and hugs,
