My friend Nance brought this pumpkin die last time she came to play.
I die cut several out of watercolor paper and had lot's of fun coloring
them up using re-inkers.
I had this little leaf and tendril die in my stash.
It's a perfect fit!
I had seen Jennifer McGuire frame embossing a while back and
thought that was a great idea, so I've done that for a background.
Nance did a card using this idea and stacked the frame.
It looks fantastic! I should have done that.
Since I have a little tag, I'm hoping this qualifies for the
I've used the colors for this month's
Lots of pretty fall cards in the gallery there.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!
