Coral Leaf, Brown Leaf CARD, Less is More, colourQ

Two Challenges today!  I was encouraged by one of my stampin sisters Loralee (Mrs. Parrish) by this card I made last week to play over at the Simply Less is More challenge Week 84 using a design of card with clean lines, minimal elements, areas of white space and few or no embellishments.  This week's theme is using FOLIAGE in focus.  With that in mind I created another foliage card using Stampin' Up!'s French Foliage stamp set.  This is my very first time playing with the Less is More One Layer Card Challenge team and I think I'm hooked.   My second challenge is one of my favorites creating with colors is the colourQ challenge #153 using this lovely color palette that are perfect for Autumn cards.

Create the romance of a leisurely fall afternoon spent in a French cafe writing thoughts and impressions in a journal with the images in this set and ink spatter backgrounds.
