Here is a card I created using the level 2 hostess stamp set Autumn Flair. I used a card design that I have used in the past but changed the stamp set.
Autumn Flair is a great set and is actually a 2 step stamping set. In the card above I have stamped the outline leaf image in staz on and watercoloured it. In the following card I used the base leaf image to add colour to the card instead of watercolouring.
I think they both look good. The greeting is from the Wow flowers set on page 140 of the Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalogue. It is a stamp set designed to coordinate with a simply sent card elements kit.
I have punched out the greeting using the word window punch then made a mat for this using a 1.5cm strip of card that I fed into the slit punch to punch the semi cirlce on each end. It makes a perfect mat for the word window punch.
The colours I have used are Kiwi Kiss and Baha Breeze both of which are 'In colours' this year and both look great teamed with Night of navy.

I agree both look fantastic! But I'm rather partial to Sage... the second card is so soothing

Both gorgeous! Thanks for posting the tip about the word window punch- have often wished I could make a border for it!
