It is kind of hard to see on the photo, but the black background is embossed with a Tim Holtz Sizzix 3D folder called foliage, my current fave, to which I added the debossed side orange panel using a SSS 3D folder. These in turn were added to a dark gold card front. The sentiment is from an old CTMH set that I heat embossed. The pumpkin and flowers are courtesy of a close friend who is with StampinUp and I used her stamps to create it. All heat embossed in gold. Other embellishments are from my stash. I wish I could get a better photo, but for some reason none of the ones I took are truly showing the embossing on the black although in reality it is quite evident. I’m entering it into the CYHTP embossing challenge as well as a second card into FourSeasons.

Lovely card. Love the leafy pumpkin. I’ll bet it really looks cool against the black embossed background – the orange embossed background is a lovely touch and does show quite well.

It does and the black background is actually a watercolour paper that came in a kit from Hero Arts. I haven’t used much of it, but thought it would be good embossed because it is thicker and doesn’t fall apart with 3D folders.

Thanks a lot. I wanted the gold but not colour so it would remain elegant.
