Sundays Are for Sketches: Mini Catalog Card #1 of 10

On page 16 of the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog, you can find 20 sketches to try: 10 tags and 10 cards.  For the rest of the year, I will be featuring each of the card sketches, one per Sunday (numbered here for your convenience).  While I love the tags (and may feature them), I'm afraid to commit and get in over my head. 

For my first card using the first card sketch, I continued to have fun with the Changing Leaves bundle (stamp set, dies, and 3D embossing folder), this time paired with the Thoughtful Journey DSP.  (The oval die cut is from my stash.)

I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto the die cut oval and then layered the leaf dies on the oval and behind the sentiment.  Isn't that 3D embossed background gorgeous?

As always, I'd love to see what you make based on this sketch.  Feel free to leave a photo or a link in the comments!
