Autumn... 48

Mona Pendleton | Monday, September 24, 2012 @ 12:37 AM | , ,

Hi there! Hope you all had a great weekend! I made a card in celebration of Autumn. It's not easy for me to get in a Fall festive mode quite yet because the temps are still in the 90's here in Phoenix, we're still wearing shorts and swimming in our pools. Either way, I want to celebrate :) The more I look at this card, the more the pumpkin looks red but I promise you it is not! It's a deep orange. Is it my eyes playing tricks on me because it is after Midnight or is it my computer??? 
To make this card, I stamped the pretty pumpkin from MFT Inspired by Autumn, colored with various Copic Markers then cut it out. I layered it on top of a doily die cut made using a die from Die-namics Dainty Doily DUO.
I rarely ever make a card without a sentiment on the front but this time I did because I didn't want to cover up the embossed design. I stamped one of the beautiful sentiments from MFT Inspired by Autumn along with the pumpkin.
 For sketch inspiration, I played along with the current Unscripted Sketches challenge #177:
Hope you have a great day! Thanks so much for visiting!
Be Sweet :)

Die Karte ist innen und außen wunderbar geworden. Durch den geprägten Hintergrund wird der Kürbis noch betont, er wirkt wie überzuckert. Ein toller Effekt!

I love it when you make things sparkle Mona lol. I did not see the embossed folder listed and it's perfect for fall cards. Is it a folder or a dp? I'd love to know. :)

Enjoy that pool all you can, the water here is starting to cool off which means our boating season will end soon. :( But I love this time of the year and look forward to our annual cruise to view the turning leaves with a mug of hot cider to keep warm. Hugs

That pumpkin looks delicious! It reminds me of that old fashioned orange candy with the sugary coating. Can't remember what they are called-orange slices?? ...my mom used to love them! Also LOVE that embossed background!

Stunning creation! I absolutely love the doily background for the pumpking! I also totally agree with you to leave the sentiment for the inside...it really would have distracted from that fabulous emossed background! The stitching is divine!!!
