Today I'm participating in the Friends of Waltzingmouse Blog Waltz that is run out of
the Playroom in the Waltzingmouse Forum. Why don't you check it out and join us each month on the 17th day!? It just takes a few minutes to sign up to be a member of the forum.
The theme for October is 'Thankful' or 'Thanksgiving'
My card is a CAS one today - I stamped the pumpkin and water colored it, using a water pen brush and ink smudged onto the cover of my ink pad - I love the soft subtle color water coloring gives. I embossed a square Nestability on my card (you've probably noticed this is one of my favorite things to do on a card!) and layered the pumpkin panel inside the frame using foam tape. I added a little bit of Diamond Stickles to create 'frost on the pumpkin'!
My stamps are from the lovely fall set -
Peace and Plenty

Gloriously CAS, Julia! I always forget that nestie trick??!! The pumpkin looks amazing tucked inside. See, I got a trick AND a treat on your blog today, heeeee! Your watercoloring looks perfect, too!
You're such an inspiration, Julia. This card is outstanding, and I'm loving the great sparklie accent to your pumpkin.
Beautiful card Julia! Love the shimmery pumpkin!
The embossed frame really sets off the gorgeous watercolouring on your pumpkin. Lovely.

I do like the embossed square on your card - so elegant. The pumpkin looks fabulous and I do like the sparkle.
Julie, I really have to try this embossed nestie technique, because its lovely!!
This is a beautiful CAS card Julia, I love it. Your coloring of the pumpkin with that little bit of sparkle is just the kind of card I love to make. I know for sure that I have to get Peace and Plenty before next Fall. Just a great Thanksgiving card.
Your clean and simple looks positively elegant. Love the coloring on your pumpkin and that little hint of glitter!
Gorgeous--love your frosty pumpkin! The watercoloring looks marvelous and the embossing adds a great finishing touch.
Lovely CAS card! The watercoloring gives it a lot of depth and warmth. I just got some square nesties, so I have to try that framing technique:)
This is lovely, Julis, really pretty. Simple BUT effective!
Very nice card... would be pretty at each place setting.
