Autumn Stamped and Embossed Card

Hello again! Niki here, I have snuck back to do another design. Hehe! I am feeling the Fall weather and have never made a Fall card so that was where I started! 
This is a 3.5 by 4.5ish card. The main flower image (Antique Botanicals) was stamped with black Archival ink onto some Shimmer Sheetz and then cut down. 

I used plain white heavy cardstock for my base and embossed it with a Tim Holtz embossing folder. 
I then added some Distress Inks in Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed and Vintage Photo, and blended those together to stay with my Autumn color theme. 

The corners pieces were made using a Spellbinders die cut. I applied a little bit of clear crackle to each "leaf" but you can't see it very well. I grouped the dies in each corner and added the red center bling. The red ribbon was added through small slits I made on the sides of the Shimmer Sheetz and pulled through to make the bow on the front of the card. 
Those Shimmer Sheetz are hard to photograph because your reflection is right there! Lol. Lastly, I added the small red gems for some fun bling. 

I wanted the lovely Rubber Dance Art Stamp to the central focus of the card and believe I succeeded! My first Fall card! Yippee! Have you started your Fall designs yet? 

Thank you so very kindly to Bibi and the team for this wonderful opportunity to showcase some amazing stamps. Y'all are so very awesome sauce! Hugz and Carpe Diem! ~Niki

The distressed and embossed background is gorgeous and perfect for an autumn feel... Great idea to use the Shimmer Sheetz as the base for this beautifully detailed stamp.

So lovely and unusual. Great with the embossing, an untried technique for me, but you've used it so effectively and painted it so well with these colours with the wonderful names.

Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - October

Klikk her for info på norsk (info in Norwegian) Hello, gorgeous! Are you ready for another fun challenge? I guess you are! Our colour scheme and theme this month might not come as a big surprise. After all, fall/autumn is all around us (here in the north, anyway), and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our October Challenge: Did you know that "fall" is an Old English word? It replaced the word 'harvest' in the early 1600s as more people started moving into cities. City dwellers began to use the phrase 'fall of the leaf'' and, over time, the phrase was shortened to fall. Surprisingly, etymologists don’t know where the word "autumn" comes from. It was used as far back at the 1300s (by Chaucer), and Shakespeare often used the word, too. As English spread to the New World, the common season names split as well and today, American English uses the word fall while British English
