Pinkfresh Studio September 2025 Challenge - Tone-On-Tone & Monochrome Magic

Here is Pinkfresh Studio September 2025 Challenge - Tone-On-Tone & Monochrome Magic, below is the challenge photo:

 

And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's floating arch card using acetate to pop up the main image and created this card. I used Pinkfresh Studio's Enchanting Flora stamp, stencil, and die set to create the wreath as the main image. I also used different shades of grey ink as well as silver to make the monochromic card. I used Pinkfresh Studio's Hexagon Tile coverplate die to cut on a light gray card stock as the background. I used a strip of thick acetate to attach in front of the background and attached the wreath on the acetate. I also silver embossed "you're the best" on a dark gray cardstock and cut it out with the matching die. Then I attached the greeting on the acetate as well. Finish the card by attaching some silver fever discs (from Studio Katia) to embellish the card. Below is another look of the card:

For the card inside, I used the left over die cuts to decorate (see below):

Here is Gina K Designs September 2025 Monthly Mix Challenge - Autumn Palette, below is the challenged palette colors:

And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I used these autumn palette colors of Distress ink pads to swipe them on a piece of water color paper. Then I spray lots of water to let them flow and dry. I cut it down into a panel. I arranged the leaves (from Gina K Designs' Autumn Silhouettes and Layered Leaves stamps set) on my MISTI stamping tool. I used spotlight technique to stamp the leaves on white cardstock with autumn palette colors, then I switched to the watercolor panel and stamp the leaves again with black ink. I stacked the watercolor panel on the white cardstock and matched the color leaves I stamped to create the spotlight effect. I white embossed the greeting on a piece of plum cardstock and attached it at the bottom of the card with foam tapes. Below is another look of the card:
