Fall is such a season of blessings! Each day of my favorite season is bringing more delights! Today the pumpkins return in a clean and simple design.
Again, I used the 3D Pumpkin Wreath embossing folder (SSS) and added it's rich texture to kraft card stock. A light sponging of white craft ink highlights the wreath design.
I embossed the same design on orange card stock, die cut the gourd and positioned it over the wreath for the focal point.
I really love this wreath, and I think it too will become a favorite!
I'm playing with the CAS theme chosen by lovely Stef at The Paper Players. Making this was so much fun! Time Out Challenges where they have an inspirational photo; ATG at Word Art Wednesday.
Inspiration Station Challenge has this cute prompt.
May your day bring to mind some of your favorite things and a few smiles. It's been great spending this bit of time together!
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

Oh, now this is clever! I love your idea for the design with the embossed gourd. So much inspiration in this fabulous card, Cindy!
The embossing is lovely, especially when given a light dusting of white ink. I like the pretty bow at the top too. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players.
Such a perfect fall card, Cindy! The muted, embossed background is lovely with the touch of white over the embossing and I love the shape of that gourd/pumpkin. Such a pretty card! Thanks so much for playing along with my CAS Paper Players challenge this week!
What a clever idea to emboss over the gourd Cindy (I must confess I have a completely different EF that I am now wondering if I can use in a similar way!) - it creates a lovely uniform CAS card and the white highlighting also brings out the detail beautifully. Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
Cindy, I am with you. Fall is by far my most favorite season of the year. Every day feels different with the changes in temp, the color of the leaves, the last of the birds flying through on their way south, and the warmth of that first fire. It's also my favorite season to decorate! Oh, yes. I love your card, too. Embossing through the gourd and continuing it on the background adds wonderful movement and texture and a fabulous sense of harmony. The addition of the twine with the double bow is fabulous. So glad you joined us at The Paper Players and Time Out this week

Cindy, I absolutely love the way you have created this card! It’s simply brilliant, embossing, the background and the pumpkin together. Not only is it a great look, but it still creates a clean and simple card, which looks amazing! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talents with us at Word Art Wednesday. We always appreciate seeing what you’ve created!
This is a lovely card, Cindy. I just love that your embossed wreath is also on the gourd. What a wonderful detail as is the bit of white ink and the twine. Thanis so much for playing with us at Time Out.
The pretty embossing really adds something special to this pretty card. Thanks for joining us at The Inspiration Station Challenge, and we hope you'll play again soon.
