Halloween Card #5 for the 2023 Season

Hello Stamping Friends.

I brought out the old embossing folders and chose this one

for my card today.  It seems perfect for a Halloween card. 

I'm not quite sure on how to color a dry embossed 

piece of cardstock, especially when using multiple colors.

So I just did the best I could with a sponge.  It sort of

gives it a watercolor look. 

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

The Paper Players

I am pleased to say I had 3 out of the 4 colors.

So for old olive, I used always artichoke.  It 

was the closest green I had on hand.

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Pick of the Patch, and the wagon die

from This Birthday Piggy

So after all the sponging over the embossed card 

stock, I then got to work stamping and cutting out 

the pieces, there is a matching punch for a couple of the 

pumpkins which is always lovely.  The wagon is a die,

and I chose to make it black, so I highlighted it with

a white gel pen to look a bit more spooky.  All the stems

of the pumpkins are done in the green, and so is the gourd. 

The purple is on the bush next to the wagon, and a few pumpkins.

The black is highlighted in the tree, pumpkin, wagon, crow and sentiment

also the pumpkin face.  Isn't it funny how easily I fall back into 

adding more and more stuff to my card, especially after the past few cards

have been more simplistic.  

Here is picture of our garden we are taking down

for the winter.  We are in our third year and learning as we

"grow"  we learned this year that it was really hard to 

weed the garden because it got so big, we couldn't 

get to the insides.  So My husband worked his tail

off this weekend and made my vision a reality

look at the individual beds and the paths.  

Next spring we will add the fencing around it all. 

I'm loving it.  I can't wait to take care of it easier

next year.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

Psalm 85:12KJV

Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good;

 and our land shall yield her increase.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
