This is one of those cards that does not photograph well to show all the shimmer and shine of the mica flakes that are in the Lindy's Magicals, but just trust me that in real life, this card really does SHINE!!
I started by adding Lindy's Magicals from the Autumn Leaves Collection on water color cs and while that was drying, used SSS's Fall Foliage EF on a piece of Vintage Cream cs (PTI) and then lightly blended brown ink from my brown brush all around the edges.
I die cut a pumpkin from The Greetery's Plump Pumpkins Dies and inked around the edges with DOX ink and sponge daubers to add a bit more definition. My branch and leaves were die cut using The Greetery's BotaniCuts: Mighty Oaks dies from Soft Suede cs for the branch and the dried water colored cs for the leaves and acorn tops.
My sentiment comes from a very old Clearly Besotted stamp set called Autumn Flowers and was added with foam tape on an angle at the bottom of the pumpkin. A few PFS Sparkling Champagne Pearls finished off my card. I really wish you could all see this card in person as the colors really do shimmer and shine, just like a sunny Fall day here in West Michigan!

What a beautiful fall card, Marcia! The colors on the leaves are so pretty and I can just imagine the sheen from the magical powders. I'd be amiss if I didn't mention the sweet little acorns. So cute!! What a great background you've created to nest this sweet fall scene on, complete with the perfect sentiment. Sounds like you and your crafting buddy had a fun time together.
LOVE this gorgeous pumpkin with the pretty Lindy's leaves and acorn tops, Marcia! I also love the jaunty angle of this perfect sentiment! Not much color here yet either so I love seeing fall colors on your blog. I need to get my Lindy's out!
We couldn't believe the early color on our trip, Marcia - but none of it can compare to the beauty found here this morning! What an adorable 'plump' pumpkin that is and so worthy of those sweet little 'magical' leaves! And the acorn tops, too? I haven't been able to discard one bit of that leftover paper!
Such a fun day - thanks again for showing me the way with your Lindy's my friend!

This beautiful autumn card of yours could not be any more perfect! That's such a pretty pumpkin and you've dressed it up so well!
Love your "plump pumpkin" with the embellishments. Lovely fall card.
I love your beautifully decorated pumpkin, Marcia, and that embossed background is spot on to highlight it.
Beautiful card, Marcia, the colors are just amazing!
Stunning leaves with the pumpkin, Marcia! Looks amazing atop the embossed leafy background too!!
Beautiful card, Marcia! Love those leaves and that plump pumpkin! So fun to get together with Michele too!!
Ohhh, so beautiful with the colors you chose! I always see a plum tone in oak leaves as they turn. Such a lovely autumn vignette set against a subtle fallen leaves backdrop. I just love those cute little acorns, too! What a day you and Michele had! Marcia, thank you for sharing this fall beauty with us at Double D!
Gorgeous card Marcia! LOVE the amazing colours from your magicals on those beautiful fall leaves. xx

This is so wonderful, Marcia. Your die cut leaves and acorns are so gorgeous and look fabulous against the embossed ones and your awesome large pumpkin is the perfect stage for them as well. I also love the placement of your sentiment. Beautiful work, my friend!
