Welcome Autumn - Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge

Paper Smooches has the Anything Goes challenge for this week. Autumn is always my favorite season of the year. So, I decided to make an autumn look card to attend the challenge. Here are the challenge photos:

And below is the card I made:

The background gradient color stripe was made with masking technique and different colors of Distress ink pads. I die cut the maple leaf and colored with Distress ink as well. Then I use the clear foam adhesive (Kool Tak) to attach the maple leaf on top of the gradient color stripe. It creates a dimensional and tone-on-tone look. Love it. Finish the card by stamping the "welcome autumn" text and a little leaf from the Autumn Groves set. Here is another look of the card:
