Steampunk Autumn Postcard

The challenge for Sunday Postcard Art is 'Autumn Leaves.'  The leaves on this Graphic 45 paper have not turned yet but the oranges and golds give this a definite autumn feel.  This was a new technique I was practicing using a grid die, Be Creative tape (double-sided) and embossing powder.  It is a two stage process where you uncover the grid and emboss it with gold EP; then you uncover the squares and emboss them in clear EP.  I got a bit of the gold powder onto my lower squares but I didn't mind the effect.  Thanks for looking - cheers!

    sounds like quite some work with that different embossing! but the effect is worth it!
