Amber Autumn for As You See It Speed Challenge #355

Well, it's another speed challenge at As You See It Challenges and this time the theme for it is Leaves, which is appropriate as the fall season approaches, at least in my part of the world. With more stamp sets and bundles hitting the Last Chance list, I find my stash of current stamp sets dwindling quickly, which is a problem when I try to find sets to match a theme. Luckily, I had just ordered and received the Amber Autumn bundle from the upcoming Sept./Dec. Mini Catalogue, so I was able to use that even though some of my choices were probably a bit time consuming for a speed challenge. Here's the challenge banner:

 

And here's how it turned out:

• The card base is an 5 1/2" x 11" piece of Timid Tiger cardstock, scored and folded at 4 1/4". 
• On the card front the large 4" x 5 1/4" die from the Amber Autumn bundle was used to die cut the leaf cut outs. The extra pieces were removed using the brush attachment to the Take Your Pick Tool.
• A piece of the Autumn Toile DSP was glued just behind the leafy cut out to provide contrast to it.
• Using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, the leaves and acorns image was stamped on Basic White cardstock. I started by ink blending some Crumb Cake and Timid Tiger ink on to the image, to save time, but I wasn't happy with the outcome, so I brought in some Stampin' Blends Combos to even out the colour: Gray Granite, Timid Tiger, and Strawberry Slush. That took up most of the time.
• I die cut the image and added it to the card front with dimensionals.
• I stamped the sentiment, from the same stamp set, in Tuxedo Black ink and trimmed the sentiment strip with the Stampin' Trimmer.
• I added the sentiment with dimensionals and also some Streaked Dots as embellishments.
