I just got my craft pads and I'm loving how they stamp already! There are so many great examples of reverse image stamps embossed over polished stone, and I had this piece of left over polished stone that looked like a good candidate for autumn leaves. The reinkers used were Ruby Red and More Mustard with Brilliance Gold, but it ended up looking more like Cameo Coral. I don't have the Terrific Tags set (yet), so I made my own version using my cutter and square punches.
I never would have thought to use Orchid Opulence with these colors if I hadn't looked at the color chart program provided by laurakj and her husband. What a great and fun tool! Thanks so much for sharing this, Laura! Read all about it and get the link here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers

I'm breathless looking at this intense beauty! So rich in color! The main image reminds me of a stained glass panel with the light shining through it. Perfectly balanced with the tag placed just so--wonderful!

This is stunning! The colors (which, like you, I would have never put together on my own), the textures, the layout - all very, very pretty. So much interest to this card!
