This is my card for CC548. Maura is our hostess and she chose crushed curry, cherry cobbler, pumpkin pie and garden green. Dessert this week is leaves.
I have started on my Thanksgiving cards and these colors are perfect for a fall card. I faved this card last year from the kittie kraft blog and used it as my inspiration today.
Used the Taylored Expressions “shade tree” die and cut with distress watercolor cardstock. I colored the tree and leaves with a blender pen and sponge daubers. Blended cherry cobbler and crushed curry together to get the look of the fall trees I see here in Pittsburgh.
My wheelbarrow and pumpkins are dies from Impression Obsession. I used the StampinÂ’-Up cloudy days embossing folder behind my tree and lightly sponged some pool party ink.
ThatÂ’s my card for this week. Hope you can play along with us. You may be our next fave of the week or even a future guest designer.

Mary, somehow I know I saw this yesterday and never got to comment!! :( But I love the beautiful autumn scene you've created, and wow do I love the shading/sponging on the leaves. The wheelbarrow is just the sweetest with the pumpkins, and I love the embossed background and great matting. Truly a stunning card, my friend! Hugs!
