Week 3 Guest Designing for JUGS

It's definitely looking and feeling like Autumn in my neck of the woods.  I'm always glad to say goodbye to high temps and I enjoy seeing the leaves change color.  Not a big fan of leaves all over the ground and blowing into the garage, however.😒
Time for another great challenge at Just Us Girls.  Take a look at the wonderful mood board!
Really love the cute polka dot candle, but decided to use my unopened Birch Press Adornment Pumpkin die for a Thanksgiving card.
I picked out 2 shades of orange cardstock and used the lighter one for the top layer.  Not sure why it looks beige in the photo.  I blended some ink on the solid pumpkin under the outlines of the segments for more depth.  The stem and vine were die cut from 2 shades of green cardstock in my scrap box.  I also love the leaves in the mood board, so dry embossed a panel of PTI Classic Kraft.  The edges were inked with Classic Kraft and I attached the burlap ribbon before adhering the panel to a Classic Kraft card.  The PTI word was die cut from Classic Kraft scraps, stacked, inked with Classic Kraft and covered with shimmer.  There's a short video in my IG post.  I'm entering Snippets Playground and WAW

  8. Greta... the background is amazing. Such a cool embossing folder...must be 3D, the definition is wonderful. Pumpkin is great...Birch Press is doing some great dies now. And I know that PTI sentiment...you have had that in your stash for a long time. I use the thankful from the set all the time. Great card...so much visual interest! We are loving that you are sharing your talents with us this month!
