Thank you card with Pumpkin Duo by Tim Holtz

Hello everyone, I'm here to show my latest make with the Sizzix Pumpkin Duo Colorize die set that I recently received. 

And if you like my thank you card and need a tutorial, here it is.

First I stamped the Flourish background on a watercolour paper with embossing ink, then I heat embossed with Ranger Sage embossing powder. I cut off the excess from the paper, then I blended Speckled Egg Distress ink onto the surface. I inked the edges with Vintage Photo ink, later I added Walnut Stain too.

For the pumpkins I used Distress crayons, inks and markers to make darker and lighter layers. Here are two photos of the pumpkin colouring:

I cut out some leaves too and coloured with Distress inks.

The wooden strip was in my stash, I cut out for something else then I left it in my box. But I'm sure, I used the Lamber embossing folder, the cut the panel into equal strips with Tim's guillotine.
