And here is the card I created:
I LOVE the colors in the photo, unfortunately, I don't have any of those shades in my collection. So, I really played off the leaf theme and used some of the darker colors in the palette. I stamped the postcard stamp on the rust colored background where it would show through in the leaf cut out on the dark gray layer. After I die cut the leaf, I ran the panel through my machine with an impression plate to give it a subtle texture which you can see if you look really closely. I notched the side to wrap some twine around and added a button and sentiment to finish everything off.

I LOVE your beautiful CAS card, Heather! The leaf die cut from the front panel is perfect! Love the colors you used too!
Striking card, like the die cut leaf and the notched edge for your twine, both very clever and eye catching!
I think great minds think alike - we used basic the same idea but very different Love the postcard stamp behind the leaf, very subtle. Colors are very fallish.
a lovely card for Autumn, thanks for sharing at Crafty Catz challenge
