Autumnal Birthday Wishes

I was inspired by the colours in Sunday Stamps latest challenge based around autumn/fall and managed to combine making this card with the embossing challenge with members/friends over on docrafts where the theme was autumnal.
I've used mostly dry embossing with a little wet embossing.  In my box was a piece of brusho water-coloured card from an earlier play session already embossed with a scallop embossing folder from which I die cut two stitched panels, couple of oak leaves and a mushroom.  Three stamped & embossed smaller mushrooms came next, cut leaving a small white border, coloured with promarkers and the two "stones" were embossed with branches.  What took the most time was arranging everything until I was happy it looked balanced even using the die cut waste for extra foliage and height.  Sanded back the brick wall embossed matt to break up the darker base layer and finished off with a die cut sentiment.

I've used - A6 white card base
First Edition Woodland dies
Unbranded stitched dies
Xcut sentiment die
Papermania Brick Wall EF
Xcut Art Deco Scallop EF
Mag freebie mushroom stamp
Core'dinations cardstock
