While I have these sets out already I decided to make another card with a different main image.
Here is the recipe: Note, I worked foreground to the background. By first stamping the old olive vines on Natural White CS and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Second, stamped pumpkins over the vines and heat embossed with clear EP. Third, stamped stems and heat embossed with clear EP. Fourth, stamped sentiment with Apricot Appeal and then heat embossed with clear EP. Fifth, Brayered over the entire CS with Bravo Burgundy a couple of times to get it really dark. Wiped embossed images with paper towel to get the burgundy off of them. Six, stamped trees in black over the pumpkins. Wiped the black off of the embossed images. Sponged on black at bottom and top of CS.

Oh y Gosh! I was just thinking last night "WHY did I buy carved and candlelit?" Now I have a beautiful example of what one can do when they think ourside the box. I LOVE your use of color on this card - very unique!

This is a splendid use of the two sets and great use of color. I like the depth and dimension added with the embossing and the ribbon. A job very well done.
