I'm also joining the current dies and/or stencils challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.
I love Autumn and these colors really lend themselves to Fall leaves, pumpkins or toadstools, but I decided to use them instead with some sweet flower dies.
This was a really fun and easy card to make. I began by die cutting the scallop panel, masking off the scallop border, then ink blending with three yellows, primarily in the lower left, leaving the upper right white. Then, when I removed the masked scallops, I had a nice white border all the way around the panel. Next, all the flowers and centers were die cut then colored with Copic markers to capture the peachy-orange and dark orange colors. When that was done, I used white acrylic paint to splatter both the panel and the flowers.
When the paint dried, I did a trial run on the placement of the flowers to determine where the sentiment would fit. It was stamped in brown pigment ink, then the flowers were adhered to the panel just at their centers so I could give the petals a little lift for some dimension without using foam tape. The scallop panel was layered on two additional die cut panels for more dimension, then adhered to the brown card base, and I was done.
Thanks for visiting, I appreciate it. The other DT members have some fabulous cards for even more inspiration, so be sure to use the link above to check them out and hopefully be inspired to join us!
Take care!

Your coloring and sponging are beautiful. This card really stands out and is so cheerful. My favorite color is blue but my favorite group of colors is "fall".
Dang, Stef, this is just so gorgeous! Love these beautiful blossoms, and that pretty graded background has me swooning! The little "droplets" are so genius - I have to try this!
