I have been working steadily on Christmas cards and needed a little break,
so I looked around blogland at some of the challenges and found
this one at Impression Obsession that sounded fun
'Harvest Hello's'.
To create my card I started with a much neglected embossing folder
from Sizzix 'Come In', I don't think I have ever used this folder
before but thought it would be a fun base for all my fall 'decorations...
kind of welcoming, don't you think?
I inked the edge of my door panel with TH Distress ink 'wild honey'.
Next came all the die cutting.
The cat and I (Chloe) sat on the floor at 3am and die cut all these fun
little dies...(it was one of my insomnia sleepless nights).
For the wreath on the door I used Small Leaves Die Set DIE030-S
and Leaf Cluster DIE066-C.
I added a little hemp bow to finish.
The rest of my 'door scene' was made using
Bushel of Apples DIE204-B (I cut the apples from a red foil paper),
Pumpkin Patch DIE-202G and the little squirrel is Squirrel Set DIE-213D.
A few leaves left over from the wreath above were added as well!
Chole and I had a lot of fun creating this card and the dies have a lot of
embossed details that my camera just didn't want to pick up.
Don't forget to stop by my blog at 9pm tonight for the 'reveal'!!
You won't want to miss it!

Love that door with your cute scene! No one does that around here... I would love to see the homes decorated for autumn... Better than Christmas to me!
Oh, Diane, sorry about yet another sleepless night. Wednesday night was one for me, but I didn't do anything creative. Just tossed and turned till 4:30 am. What you did is fun and fabulous, though! I would love to have all this at my front door. Love those shiny apples, and the embossing folder is awesome!
Oh what a beautiful Fall front door scene you have created! Now come on over and do mine! Loving that pretty leaf wreath! The pumpkins, apples, squirrel....all fantastic!
