Rustic Charm Pumpkin Card

I needed some thank you cards for the people who so kindly gave me birthday cards recently, so I thought I'd make some fall-themed ones. I have been having so much fun playing with my new Altenew Pumpkin Patch 3D embossing folder and Pretty Pumpkins layering die set, and I wanted to use them for this card.

I created a side-folding A2 card using heavy weight white cardstock and then chose watercolor cardstock I had ink smooshed for the front panel. I embossed it using the Pumpkin Patch embossing folder and then trimmed it to fit the front of the card. Next, I die cut and embossed the fence using Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Rustic Charm set and some woodgrain cardstock. I trimmed it a bit to fit on the left side of the card because I wanted more of the embossed pumpkins to show. After I had the background and fence made, I die cut the pieces for all 3 pumpkins from the Pretty Pumpkins set using papers I had sprayed, ink smooshed, and/or water colored and layered them together using Art Glitter liquid glue and my reverse tweezers. I arranged them in a little grouping in front of the fence and then stamped and die cut the "thank you" sentiment from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Splendid Bouquet  set. I die cut it a few times, stacked the die cuts, and then adhered the sentiment to the card.
