New Fall colors for me!

While trying to plan for Stamp Camp, I wanted to try some new fall color combinations.  I came across this combo at Nacho Average Challenges and decided to give it a try.

This is an obvious choice for a Christmas card, so it was definitely different for me to use it for fall!  I paired it with the sketch from Pals Paper Arts. 
 PPA145 Sketch
Did you notice that banner!  My fave!  I don't know why but those things are addicting!  I decided to use mine as the base for my stamping.
The leaves are stamped on Sahara Sand cardstock then colored with Watercolor Crayons.  It's been a LONG time since I've pulled those puppies out!  I embossed the sentiment in gold and then decided that I wanted to add some on the banner, so I sponged on VersaMark then embossed the edges.  To pull it all together, I added the Brushed Gold scallops on the edges.  I really like how it turned out!  Oh, and if you are wondering how the vellum is adhered, I strategically placed tiny dots of TomBow Multiglue behind some of the letters of the sentiment.  Can't see a thing!
