The new palette at colourQ will surely make you think of Halloween. But I decided to have a little fun with the colors and make a card with some leaves - autumn style.
The Sketch at As You See It was a good jumping off point for me and since the challenge this week at Time Out Challenges is autumn I decided I'd try my hand at adapting these colors for a bit of an autumn themed card. An old favorite stamp set, French Foliage, provided the leaves and the Patio Stone circle in the background was stamped with Basic Gray, stamping off once so the color would be a bit muted. I love how this looks, especially with the black embossing paste design down the side.
The colourQ design team has made some beautiful cards for you to see this week so be sure to check them out. I hope to see you in the gallery!

Another stunning card, Jen. I love the CASness, and beauty of this Fall card. Those leaves are just lovely, and the little enamel dots are the perfect accent too. You've rocked the sketch; I think you've got a winner here. LOVE this. Bev

Simple perfection Jen - just beautiful
I adore that stone circle stamp, it looks like embossing paste, what a cool stamp. And such wonderful stamping of the leaves. This is such a refreshing take on these colours and so good to see you use them for a non Halloween card. Thanks for joining us at TO, hope to see you again soon x
I love this! So beautiful in its simplicity!
This is a perfect clean and simple autumn card, Jen! I wish I had kept my French Foliage set. Thanks for playing along with us at As You See It Challenges this week.
This is absolutely gorgeou. I love the distressed look on those leaves, and your focal point is beautifully arranged.
Oops...Thank you for playing along at Time Out.
Great CAS card, love the 'hint' of a circle behind the leaves. Thanks for playing at Time Out
