This is an idea that I had seen on her in the gallery but can't remember where. All I did was make a window mask out of acetate and center it on the card front. I stamped the pumpkins with versamark ink and then colored them by blending several colors over the pumpkin images. Then I added the framed look by sponging around the edges with a sponge dauber. When you do this if you drag you sponge dauber from the outside in you'll have a softer effect on the inside of the frame and a nice darker edge on the outside. then I dryed the pumpkins image a little with the heat gun before stamping and embossing with gold the greetings. This way when you sprinkle on your embossing powder it won't stick to the pumpkins also. Last I tied a ribbon around the folded edge to match.This also looks good with the Lovely as a Tree stamp set which is how the original one that I saw had used.

This is beautiful. Love how it has a loose sketchy look to it. The shading makes it look like an old sketch.
