Gerda Steiner fall card

This month at the Outlawz Monthly Progressive Challenge, we have a darling Gerda Steiner digi to use. This cute girl pulling her load of pumpkins makes a great fall image.
I used a 5X7 inch Kraft card base for this card. I trimmed a piece of orange card stock to fit the card front and then chose the layout. I liked the idea of popping up my frame with the image underneath, so I chose which dies I wanted to use and then sized up my digi using my Silhouette Design Studio software. I printed it out and then cut the frame and the image using Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles dies. I colored the digi using Copic and MEXPY markers and then used my Marvey Snow marker for the trim on the boots and hat. I added snow-colored fine glitter while the marker was still wet so it would stick to the trim, making a sparkly 3-D effect. For embellishments, I used an acorn and pumpkin from Paper Studios Knick Knack Collections "Fall Icons" and a couple of leaves I made from Sculpey clay and using the Premo "Nature" clay cutters set.
Here's a close up of the clay leaves and glitter accents on the card:
 
For the inside of the card, I used a piece of burlap as a background for a felt pumpkin I cut out using a Cuttlebug cut and emboss set called "Pumpkin Spice." I cut the pumpkin out in orange felt and then cut the leaf and stem in green and brown and trimmed them to fit together. I also embossed each piece before adhering them all together.
I'm going to enter this card in the following challenges:
