Wendy is our hostess today for the Free For All Challenge. Today, Wendy challenged us to go "Au Naturale" *giggle* (use some sort of natural fiber or material in your creative process)
I wanted to use my Cuttlebug embossing folder again coupled with a Memory Box stamp I've had for about a year (un-inked), as well as my PTI sentiment stamp. But this time a little different look than this card. For my natural fibers I die cut blossoms from Blossom Party in both natural fibers and paper. I added a natural string bow knotted at the ends, and some curled wire to repeat the pumpkin vine in the stamped image. Finally, a little stardust stickles for that magical bibbidi-bobbidi-boo feel. I'm in an autumn kind of mood, how about you?
As always, thank you so much for your visit today. Let's meet again over a spicy pumpkin latte (she smiles).

Susie, this card is gorgeous. Your colouring is perfect. I really like this border of pumpkins. The "natural" floral/bow/twine embellishment in the corner steals the show - gorgeous.

Lovely use of "natural" fibers on your flower accessorizing your beautifully colored pumpkin image! The bit of stickles give life to the wire looping your pumpkins together and again.... one of my MOST favorite EF's!

Absolutely show-stopping creation! The pressure embossed framing seems as though it was designed just for this ... and I've always adored the natural look & feel of earthy fibers.

Wow, where do I start. Everything is so beautiful Susie, the embossed frame, the incredible colouring, not to mention the gorgeous flower. This is one of those cards that makes me do a happy sigh and bless the day I found splitcoaststampers. Straight into My Favs my friend.
