First stamped card for ages - A5 Autumn leaves anniversary card

My comfort zone in card making is decoupage, but I decided today to have another go at stamping. I started with a white A5 card blank and matted onto it  pearlescent card and papers. Inspired by this wonderful season of autumn I've made an anniversary card featuring a horsechestnut leaf. I stamped the image onto VersaMark and added heat embossing powders & inked the other images. I stamped onto a combination of patterned card and pearlescent paper before cutting out the leaves, then adhering them with Wacky Tac Adhesive sheet. I finished the card with gold peel-off letters.

Stamp used - Personal Impressions 377F - Horse chestnut leaf

Inks used - VersaMark watermark ink
                - VersaMagic  'Mango Madness' Archival chalk ink
                - Tim Holtz 'Fired Brick' distress ink

Heat embossing powders used - Dark green glitter, gold, yellow (make unknown)
