Slimline Friend Card with Fall Colors

It's that time of year again... cooler temps at night and in the mornings, but sunny and beautiful during the day.  Fall time is here.  And so it's time to make those Fall cards.  I love all the fall colors!  But the chill in the air, not so much!

I created this "Friend" card for...

Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Challenge #683


It's been a hot minute since I created a slimline card.  This sketch is perfect for all those fall colors!

I used Stampin' Up! Beautiful Pumpkins Bundle, Stylish Shapes Dies, Earthen-Toned Metallic Specialty Paper & Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

Timid Tiger was used as my card base with a layer of Metallic Paper embossed using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

The pumpkins were stamped using Cajun Craze ink and the stems using Pecan Pie ink.  The vine leaves were die cut using Old Olive.

The sentiment was stamped with Cajun Craze ink and die cut using Stylish Shapes Dies.

The small pumpkin and sentiment were adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For the embellishments, I chose 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls.

To create the background, I began with a strip of Basic White and simply dragged the ink pad over the cardstock, slightly overlapping the colors.  The inks used: Cajun Craze, Pecan Pie, Timid Tiger, Old Olive & Crushed Curry.

Inside is a layer of Basic White with the leaf vine image stamped with Old Olive ink in the upper and lower corners.
