TSTR WEEK #84–PUMPKIN GARDEN

Welcome back to all my sweet crafty friends!  I cannot believe another week has already gone by and I am just getting my entry posted for The Shabby Tea Room’s challenge this Week #84 - ' Pumpkin Garden'.  If you had a chance to read my post from yesterday you already know that Joy is keeping me on my toes this week.  She is here in the chair with me now as I am typing this post! LOL
Well, I just love my submission for TSTR challenge this week. I hope you like it too! Dry embossing is required for this challenge so I used it in two places on this card. My new DCWV The Four Seasons paper has so many pretty patterns it was loads of fun to create with.  Several layers ended up on the card but I really love the way they flow together.


And here is the inspiration photo:

The flower on the left is made from wired ribbon and embellished with a green half-pearl.  The large medallion is cut using two Spellbinders oval die-cuts to form a frame. The design inside the frame is stamped using Rubber Stamp Tapestry’s Garden of Summer Mums Set plus their Canada Goose Peg Stamp - Mini .  After stamping the flowers and goose, I chalked them with Pebbles Inc’s earth tone chalks.  I edged the inside of the medallion with a gold pen and finished it with 5 green half-pearls.  I fussy cut the pumpkins and leaves from the same paper stack.

The border along the right side of the card is cut with a Martha Stewart Double Edge Punch - Doily Lace Trim. The small sentiment medallion is cut from the next to smallest Spellbinders oval and dry embossed. I edged this medallion in olive green and stamped it with the same RST Garden of Summer Mums Set plus their  Happy Thanksgiving Block Stamp and finished with a green half-pearl. The other dry embossing on this card is hard to see in the picture but the bottom patterned strip is embossed with a Cuttlebug Embossing Border.

So that is my card. PLEASE let me know what you think! I love comments so much!!!! Have a great Saturday evening.
