When I got this embossing folder, I was so anxious to use it with this technique. I'm not sure if this tutorial is here on SCS or not. If not, I used the tutorial by Anne Craig at Distinktive Stamping Designs. http://anncraig.blogspot.com/2015/09....html?spref=pi
I swiped my embossing folder with ink (Rich Cocoa) and then stamped the pumpkins on the folder. Next, I ran it through my Grand Calibur for embossing. What a fun technique.
I'm pretending this is just a row of birch trees in the back yard and not a forest. The pumpkin patch is just beyond.
Added some Fall leaves, twine, sentiment and I have a card I really like.
Edit: I edited my photo because I saw Copic marker from the pumpkins on my trees. You know how every little thing shows when you enlarge your photo. It was driving me nuts so I had to get it off.

Brendathis is a lovely fall scene. I like the faux letterpress. I'm not ready for summer to be over. It seems I've missed summer this year. However, since fall is coming without my permission, this beautiful card helps me get ready for sweater weather.

Beautiful card! I love the cluster of Autumn leaves & cording. Thanks for including a link to the tutorial - I would never have figured out how you did that but now makes perfect sense.

You should be proud of this card, it's beautiful!!! I love the bright orange pumpkins with the "front yard" birch trees! Great leaves and the touch of twine. Welcome back, I've missed your creations!
