Pumpkin Bouquet - Fancy Frames and Picturesque

In trying to decide what to make as my entry today, I did a search of my hard drive to see what kind of files I had on Fall or Autumn.  Lo and behold, I found this lovely little digistamp called Pumpkin Bouquet.  I have had it a long time and forgot I had it (ever do that?)  It came from Fred She Said group on Crafter's Digital Art Center.  It is perfect for what I wanted to make.

 Donna and I have been discussing that we need to start making something with our cartridges that we have never used.  So for this card, I wanted to do a frame so I got out Fancy Frames.  First I colored my digi with Promarkers.  Then I decided on  my paper (which is probably not the best order to use).  I have had this paper stack a long time too.  It is called Mango Frost by DCWV.

I wanted a round frame for the image.  The border on the one I chose was too wide so I used Cricut Craft Room and hid the inner cut.  Next using the circle from the George and Basic Shapes cartridge, I stretched the circle until the frame border was just right.  I cut 2 of them.  I used a Martha Stewart Circle Cutter to cut out my digistamp and glued one frame over it.  I inked all the edges of my cuts with Color Box Turquoise Ink.  The corners were cut from the Picturesque cart (this cart has some beautiful cuts on it) and inked with turquoise ink.   After adhering all the elements to the front of the card, I applied foam adhesives (pop dots) to the second frame and placed it over the first one.


This is a close up of the frame.  Can you tell how adding the pop dots makes it look 3D?

This is the inside of the card for the sentiment.

    (PS. I notice that you have 'comment verification' on. If you want to be sure of being left comments from various DTs it would be a good idea to take this off. If you would like to know how to do this, there should be some instructions on our challenge sidebar. Hope this is helpful).
