Seasonally Scattered Swap

I just realized I've been so busy showing the fun Paper Pumpkin projects I've been working on that I completely forgot about my new collection of swap cards! I was part of a shoebox swap way back at the very beginning of August with some of my sister demonstrators- and wow I came away with some fantastic cards :)

Although I was really impressed by all of the cards this time, there were two that were my favorites hands down. This is one of them :)

Isn't it so pretty! This one was shared by Brenda Sprenger. I just love the fall theme- ah, isn't fall fantastic. The world turns so many pretty colors :)

This card features the stamp set Seasonally Scattered from the new Holiday mini catalog. She had the leaves and saying all fussycut out for us, so all we had do do was distress the pieces to our hearts content. I even learned a new trick- if you want to highlight only the raised portion of an embossed image use a brayer. It seems so simple and yet I would have never thought of that! I love how it brought out the pattern on the leaves and the background :)

Flutterby again soon to see more of the awesome swaps I recieved!
