To start off....I LOVE FALL and WINTER!! All is good when it's in earth tones I used the awesome SU Hardwood bg I just received in the mail (I also love wood...but that's all included in the earth tone theme ;) ) I stamped it on watercolor paper, embossed it, added a little water to it and waited for the ink to disperse from under the embossing. After that I just shaded and highlighted from there. The pumpkin is made up of three oval shapes, I used watercolor paper for them as well. I used the crushed curry first then the Cajun craze. I used pumpkin pie and rose red to highlight and shade each one. The sky and grass I chalked with bashful blue and gable green. The trees are chocolate chip, garden green, old olive, alittle bit of Cajun craze and crushed curry. I the apples are rose red. The shelf under the pumpkin is colored with going gray, white gel pen and bashful blue so it would be noticeable against the chocolate chip color. The view is from the inside of the barn out towards the field TFL

Wow, this is fabulous. A lovely scene you've created here. I really like the embossed hardwood background, your pumpkin is so clever. I thought I recognized the fabulous trees from Lovely as a Tree. Marvelous card!
