Burnished Velvet Leaves

For an October birthday card for my boss, I thought rich warm hues and falling leaves would be perfect. I created the burnished velvet strip using masks I die cut with Spellbinders leaf dies and simple circles from a hole punch. I used six different Glitter Ritz glitter colours so there is a lot of contrast and sparkle.

I sparkled up the borders and created a focal point by gold embossing the sentiment and backing it with an en pointe square coated in champagne glitter. Inside I used a Memory Box Nutty Acorn die to make it a little more interesting. 

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

I recently discovered I have over 50 colours of Glitter Ritz Glitter to use on the Burnished Velvet technique, so with this card I was trying to "Use It" up and made an ever so slight dent in my stash!
