Hello Friends, thanks for stopping by today!
We have a new challenge starting today over on our new Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge Blog and the TWIST theme is ...
PUMPKINS
Remember, the twist is optional
but you MUST use an embossing folder on our projects to qualify for the
prize. Heat embossing is also permitted but only in conjunction with
an embossing folder.
Here's what I've created to inspire you today.
I certainly had to put my thinking cap on today for this card!
I just realized I don't have any Halloween/Pumpkin type embossing folder (will have to do something about that!!! lol) so I had to think outside the box a bit and came up with this design.

For my background I have used the Darice 'Chevron' embossing folder which I've had in my stash for many, many years. After embossing, I inked it up using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide orange ink. (I think it kind of gives you the feel of a 'tractor tire pattern' which you would find in any pumpkin patch lol). The remainder of my design comes from a variety of scrapbook stickers I had in my stash.

Your pumpkin-themed card is so creative! Using the Darice 'Chevron' embossing folder with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide orange ink gives it a perfect pumpkin patch vibe. The scrapbook stickers add a delightful touch, making it a fun and festive design.

ReplyDeleteNo pumpkin folders here, either. I love how you pulled this out of your hat and made such a darling card, Darlene! The scarecrow and pumpkins are super cute and they look great with the chevron embossing!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun little scarecrow for your card and that EF works perfectly with him too! I love all the fall colors, pumpkins, and corner effects too.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the chevron folder, and I love scarecrows (but only cute ones like yours!)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card. I love that happy scarecrow, and the embossed background really makes that focal pop.
