Thanksgiving Pumpkin Card

Created this Thanksgiving Pumpkin Card using Pumpkin theme and a sketch from Creative Cutter Room (you can see sketch below).

Used handy George and Basic Shapes Cricut cartridge for cutting the rectangles for card.

Used both dry & wet/heat embossing.

Used Tim Holtz Paper Distresser and Tim Holtz Autumn Distress Ink ripe persimmon on edges. Used Tim Holtz Autumn Distress Ink ripe persimmon on dry embossing.

Used Stamp N Plus Chalk Ritzy on front center pumpkin and
inside bottom embossed pumpkin.

Used 2 different Martha Stewart punches. One is the Pumpkin punch in top right corner and other is the Pumpkin edge punch in bottom right corner.

Gave the inside a finished look also by adding a button pumpkin that I cut the button back off with my trusty Tim Holtz scissors, using chalk, embossing & stamping.
