Have you noticed the Sparkle of the Season bundle in Stampin' Up!'s catalog? It was so well-designed for Fall and Christmas with dies that cut three different styles of wreaths (that's a word that you only want to read and not have to pronounce) and an assortment of images [stamps and dies] for Fall, Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Christmas. The only shaped element featured on my card that is not part of the bundle is the 3-leaf image from a retired punch because . . . well . . . I just wanted a little something else to put there.
It's a lovely card, right? I used two die-cut Soft Suede wreaths, which were stacked one on top of the other, and then I lightly sponged ink on the die-cut leaves and pumpkin. My cardstock color for the leaves were Blackberry Bliss, Garden Green, and Crushed Curry. Of course, Pumpkin Pie cardstock was used for the pumpkin, and the Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker colored the stem beautifully. I used one of the Tailor Made Tags dies to cut the tag, and the word "grateful" was stamped with VersaMark ink and then embossed with gold Stampin' Emboss Powder. The Very Vanilla cardstock layer was embossed with the Timber embossing folder, and you can see that detail better in the photo below:
The finishing touch to this card was the placement of Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels in a waterfall pattern.
