This is my combo for yesterday's sketch and today's ways to use it challenges. I had a lot of fun w/ both of these.
I stamped all the images w/ either sienna ink or the Kpads (leaves only). I colored the pumpkins w/ markers and used a blender on the leaves. Then I outlined everything w/ a brown gel pen to give a little more definition. Everything was cut out.
The green and marigold layers, I used cb border folders on. The vanilla rectangle behind the pumpkins I used the harvest folder. I used the nestie rectangles to get my long frame and the small sentiment frame. This was a little bit complicated until I figured out how to make my standard rectangle dies cut a long rectangle. Since I don't have the long rect. set yet, I played around until I figured out I could get my std. rect. to do the same thing. I'll probably have to do it again and take pics cause it's a little hard to explain. After I cut the long rect., I used the frame of the large one and sponged on green ink. I did the same to the small one and stamped the sentiment in the center.
The dp looking stuff is actually wrapping paper. I die cut the letter and shadow then attached them to a nestie circle. I added two little ribbon tabs on the left side. TFL and I'll have close ups on my blog The Write StuffNestie Resizing Tutorial and try to explain how I did the nestie rectangle thing.
ETA: The tutorial for resizing your std. rectangles into long rectangles is now up on my blog. Clicking on the link will take you directly there.

Wow, I am first amazed at all the views 1832 and comments 78 and favorites 79 this card has encountered. My oh my, just imagine how 1832 comments would look like. Don't know if anybody has ever had that happen!
Now, I just want to say that you have captured Fall on a card. All those colors, pumpkins, leaves, that wrapping paper and the cuttlebug background, plus the ribbon, now Julie, you can bow and say thank you because I'm applauding here, this card is remarkable (I've missed it when you uploaded it) I feel very lucky to have fallen on it in the gallery showcasing! I am going to fave this so we can read 80 in the favs now. But only God knows if I can pull this one off! Will let you know if and when.

Absolutely a gorgeous card. I know this must have taken a while. So glad I
got to view it. Your cuttlebug folders are just perfect for this lovely card. The wrapping paper could not have been any better. Gorgeous colors and I love those pumpkins.
