This week's sponsor is Digital Delights by Looby Lou. My card features the adorable Haystacks the Scarecrow image. The twist this week is to add Pumpkins or Leaves.
I created this card with some great (surprisingly) Kraft card stock that I got from Michael's. It's a deeper shade of Kraft than I normally work with and I just love it. It's so warm and beautiful. I usually only like Michaels card stock for layering, but it worked great for my card bases. I embossed on layer with a woodgrain embossing folder. Then I cut out a leaf using the Foliage Spellbinders die from More Mustard and inked the edges. I then made an easy pumpkin from an oval punch using Pumpkin Pie and some random decorative paper that was sitting on my table. I matted the focal image to piece of scrap burlap. It's very earthy and screams Fall!
I hope you head on over to the TMS blog to join us. Have a fantastic day!

The Recollections kraft is my go-to - it IS a lovely warm colour, and sturdy for techniques :) I love that pumpkin, and the burlap mat is perfect!
