I recently created a set of fall-themed thank you cards to give to the lovely people who spoiled me on my birthday, and this is one of them. I used Altenew's Pumpkin Patch 3D embossing folder with some orange cardstock for the background panel and attached it to a white A2 card base. Then I die cut and embossed a fence from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Rustic Charm set using woodgrain cardstock and added that to the left side of the card. I trimmed it a little to leave room for the embossed pumpkin patch to show at the bottom.
To create the pumpkin die cuts, I used Altenew's Pretty Pumpkins layering die set and papers I had ink smooshed, watercolored, and/or sprayed to give them a nice texture. I die cut the stems from some paper I had created using a metallic acrylic paint. I arranged the pumpkins in front of the fence and adhered them using liquid glue and foam tape to give dimension in places.
Finallly, I stamped and die cut the "thanks" sentiment from Altenew's Build-A-Garden: Bougainvillea set.
