Creative challenges are a great way to get the inspiration going by giving you a starting point. Today’s card was born from the Color Inspiration Challenge!

I chose to use the gorgeous Life is Beautiful stamp set. Not only is it two step stamping, giving you stunning, modular images with ease, but it’s trees. We love trees. So much.
Trees are so versatile. Perfect for holidays, general, and for the guys!

Although it’s Spring here in New Zealand, this color challenge spoke Autumn to me. Of course, the tree in the Life is Beautiful stamp set is a perfect choice! I colored in that Whisper White Seam Binding ribbon with the Light Pumpkin Pie Blend; it came out a stunning color!
The Wrapped in Texture folder is a great, neutral texture folder that doesn’t detract from the focal image. It’s a smaller folder, but here’s a great way to use them on a full sized card:

Why not add a bit of gold? Just a sprinkling of gold in with the colors can be very effective! Must have gold and silver embossing powder on hand!

I just had to give this a try in another autumnal color combination – this time Real Red and Cajun Craze with Early Espresso. Which do you like best?
