Elegant Autumn

I am not really sure what that means, but that is the challenge at SUO Challenges this week!  I made a card that looked elegant to me and is definitely fall.

For the background, I sponged So Saffron, More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Cherry Cobbler on Glossy White Cardstock.  I then stamped the leaves in the three darkest colors.  I tried the same technique on Vellum Cardstock and it looks really cool too.  I will share that one another day when I get a whole card assembled with it!  The sentiment is embossed with Early Espresso Embossing Powder.  The background is up on Dimensionals on the Early Espresso Core'dinations Cardstock.  I am obsessed with that stuff!  A little Linen Thread a Naturals Designer Button and my card was complete.  Do you think it counts for Elegant Autumn? :)
