Copper Leaves are Falling

Hello! Fall is in the air!  I love making cards for fall and I made this one for the fall theme challenge at Modsquad.   I pulled out a background paper  that I made with Distress Oxide Inks some time ago and had filed away.  (Not sure of which DOI that I used with watercolor paper) On the panel, I stamped a leaf several times from Gina K Designs Skeleton Leaves with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Copper EP. The sentiment is from an older GKD set A Year of Leaves.  Attached to a base of Copper Metallic Card Stock. 

Challenges:

Chinese Lanterns Make a Sunny Day

Welcome! A third post for today.  As the month nears the end, I am trying to enter some challenges that end soon.  This card was made for the challenge at Power Poppy to use Kraft colored paper for a project.  I decide to use Power Poppy stamps from the Sunny Harvest set.  I tried several mediums on Kraft CS including Distress Oxide Inks and Markers without success and then used pencils to color the image after stamping with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on the Kraft.  This came out to my liking.  I added Glossy Accents to the red berries and used Sakura Clearstar Pen on the Lanterns.  I cut the image with a Spellbinders Die and attached it to a Layer of Metallic Copper CS and then to a layer of Rusty Orange CS and a card base of Green.
 The Power Poppy sentiment was stamped with Versamark and embossed with Copper Metallic EP.  The Copper CS and EP look really good in real life and add a lot to my card.  I wished that they showed better in the photo.
