Just Us Girls #260 - Photo Week

This week at Just Us Girls it's Photo Week.  Sue V. has chosen a beautiful Fall photo to inspire us. Before we get started I have a couple of announcements.  I want to thank Barbara Hagen for being our GD for September and sharing her wonderful talent with us.  Thanks, Barbara!  I, also, want to welcome two talented ladies to our team, Ina Grehan & Chris Dring.  Welcome, ladies!  You can see their beautiful cards beginning with our October challenges.  Be sure to come back and show them some love.

 Don't you just love Fall colors!  This is my favorite time of the year.  It's not too hot and not too cold, and I love the changing of the leaves with all of that glorious color.  I tried to capture some of that color in my card, take a look.

I started by using a Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A die on white card stock.  While the die was still in place, I sponged first with GKD Sweet Corn and then with Sweet Mango.  The pumpkins were stamped, colored and fussy cut, so they could be popped up with pop dots.  I used a couple of leaf punches to make four colors of leaves and embossed them with a Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder.  I added a ribbon, button and some twine to finish it off.
