The inspiration from this card came from a few cards that I saw using a different stamp set: Autumn Splendor from the Holiday Mini catalogue. Not quite the same effect because the other stamp set has more lines and less to colour in.
Supplies
Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral, All Holidays
Ink: Versamark, Stampin Write markers: Barely Banana, Crushed Curry and Apricot Appeal
Paper: Barely Banana, Crushed Curry, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Gold embossing powder, stamin' dimensionals, texturz plates and Big Shot

Enjoy your day!
