Thankful Pumpkin Card


This card had its start with a foiled orange pumpkin designed paper made with my Minc machine, some Pink and Main orange foil, and a Whimsy pumpkin foilable design card.  I didn't like the white background that remained after the card was foiled so I used Tim Holtz distress sprays to color in the background.  I used my We R Memory Keepers Crop-a-Dial corner rounder to clip off the corners of the brown kraft card, plaid (Whimsy) card stock and the foiled pumpkin card.  Next I stamped the saying from the Whimsy Prim Little Things stamp set onto a beige card stock and then used a Sizzix die to cut it out.  I rubbed on some green ink and distressed the label a little with metallic sprays.  In hindsight I should have heat embossed the saying in gold or copper powder because I wanted more metallic shine to match the ribbon.  Anyway, all the parts were glued with Fabri-Tac or adhered with double stick Heiko tape.  I like the way the colors matched on this card to give a very autumn-ish look and went along with the grateful/meaningful saying.  Life is good so be thankful!
