I decided to play along in the Crafty Secret Challenge - Falling for Fall.
The main image is from the Heartwarming Vintage Collection Calendar that I picked up at CHA. I cut the pumpkin out and then covered it with Ranger Crackle Accents. Once it dried, I applied some Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the cracks and then wiped off the extra.
I distressed some background papers, die cut/embossed a few Nestabilities and kept layering it all together until I was satisfied the result. The sentiment was found in a book and then printed off with the computer. Inside is the greeting . . . Happy Halloween.
