Todays card is pretty simple. The background was stamped with brown ink on brown cardstock. The burgundy strip of paper is stamped with a flourish stamp in burgundy ink (very hard to see). The ferns were embossed with Malachite embossing powder, it's a green powder with bits of copper flecks, very pretty! I added a bit of Distress ink in scattered straw around the ferns, it adds a nice glow. The orange paper was stamped with the Four Leaf Grid with orange ink and the edge was punched with EK Success border punch. I wanted the sentiment to be subtle so I added the tiny Hi There! in the corner with brown ink. To finish off I added a strip of burgundy paper I had trimmed off the other piece and added a few gems.

I sooooo 'need' that fern stamp ... it is absolutely stunning with that embossing powder ... fabulous job with both the color combo and the sketch ... beautiful fall design.
