It's time for us to share the next Hues of Color over at the Color Hues Challenge Blog! The colors that have been chosen for you to create with are Rust and Yellow for the next two weeks! We can't wait to see how you are inspired!
 
My card features the Autumn Leaves die set along with a sentiment from the NEW Thankful and Blessed stamp set from Gina K Designs.
 
For my leaves I started with a panel of Ivory card panel and ink blended Sweet Corn and Honey Mustard ink before I die-cut the solid leaves for my yellow. Then I die-cutted the detailed leaves from Faded Brick card stock. For added interest I added Gold spatters to the leaves and background panel.
