Today's card uses Distress Oxides for the background. I layered Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick, and Wilted Violet. I love this colour combination. It has a real warmth about it that makes me think of fall.
I added two beautiful copper die-cut leaves sent to me by my good friend, Bonnie. A simple sentiment finishes the card.

Congrats on the 1st anniversary. During this year, I have seen some of the most beautiful watercolored backgrounds and love them all. This is a great example today of how they make a stunning card and add some copper diecut leaves and that is perfection. Thanks, Loll.
Fabulous autumn colours in your background, Loll. Perfect for the bright copper leaf dies!

Wow, Congrats!! It's been amazing to see what has grown so much. This card is gorgeous (I feel like I say that a lot, but it is so true). I adore those colors together. You're right, it evokes a warm and cozy fall like feeling. The coppery leaves are beautiful. Wonderful work. Here's to another year of fantastic work! :) Hugs.
Many congratulations! I love your challenge and always learn such a lot from your extremely creative and talented team. Here's to many more years x What an amazing card Loll. The colours are fabulous and those coppery leaf die cuts are stunning!
Wowsa, Loll!! I LOVE this!!! I agree that it's a beautiful color combo and then the 2 copper leaves to the side are a perfect accent -I will definitely be CASE-ing this at some point! Thanks for the inspiration, Loll, and I'm excited for this month's challenge too!
The background is lovely, and it truly does make me think "Fall". Splendid color, and I love those copper leaves. I have that die set, and did a birthday card using all 3 of the leaves. Never dreamed how lovely they would be done in copper! What a beautiful design using 2 leaves at the side as you did. Love it! TFS & Hugs too.
Oh Loll what a beautiful card - love your background and the simple but elegant die cuts over it are stunning.
Blessings

Loll, your background is stunning, such beautiful colours that look wonderful with the pretty copper die cuts. Congrats on your 1st birthday and thank you for all the gorgeous inspiration and a fun challenge. x
So simple yet so effective. Love those pretty die cut leaves against your DOI backgroun, Loll. Congrats on turning 1!
I love how this background looks. The colors blend together to form a delicate mist. In other places colors are clearly delineated, creating beautiful colored spots. It looks really amazing. Golden elements make the card very elegant. So beautiful combination of card elements.
love,
