I started with a cream colored panel and embossed it with an older FSJ Leaves ef, and then started adding on top of that panel. The Greetery's Shiplap Builder Dies were used for the 3 strip in the sketch (I did move mine from a center position to the left), and then added 2 pumpkins from The Greetery's (Plump Pumpkins) which I ink blended the edges of for a little more definition.
I wanted to add a couple leaves and when I pulled out The Greetery's BotaniCuts: Mighty Oak die set, there were a few leaves in the package that I obviously had done the year before (or longer). Don't you just love it when that works out that something is already to use?! I finished with a sentiment from Clearly Besotted's Autumn Flowers stamp set and then added a few Sparkling Champagne Pearls from PFS.
Lots of fun ideas and inspiration over at the Freshly Made Sketches site from the DT and you can check it all out right HERE. This challenge is open till Monday, Oct. 29th @ 3:00PM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Your plump pumpkins and leaves stand out beautifully on this embossed background. I especially like the ship-lap boards. They're perfectly placed! This is just beautiful my friend.
I love all of the texture in your wonderful card from the embossed background to those wonderful pumpkins and leaves. Those three brown panels look wonderful behind those plumpkins. Love the leaves and the embellishments. This is a wonderful use of the sketch, Marcia.
I love your trio of shiplap, Marcia - the pumpkins are gorgeous, too with the ready-to-wear oak leaves! Thanks for making FMS part of your Friday lineup, my friend! x

psst our challenge ends Sept. 29th - thanks!
Gosh, I just love these big pumpkins! The sketch works so beautifully with the shiplap, the embossed background, and the found oak leaves. A gorgeous fall card, Marcia!
Those plump pumpkins are just as pretty as they can be and the shiplap looks great for that trio of strips. This is a wonderful card, Marcia!
Beautiful, beautiful pumpkins, Marcia! I love the rich colors and the shiplap strips! This is a fantastic use of this sketch!
I thought of using the shiplap too, Marcia, but didn't bring it with me. It looks great with the pumpkins that you so artfully shaded and arranged with the leaves.
Lovely fall card, and great choices for your card backdrop, and focal point.
What great texture all over your design Marcia! The giant pumpkins, the white embossed background the shiplap AND those lovely layered leaves! I DO love when I get a die set out and I find I had made extra and they are sitting there for me to use!
Wow! I love your interpretation of the sketch, and the mondo pumpkins are sweet and full of texture. Great card, Marcia
