I love being on the DT at Createful Hearts and I have been playing in the Progressive Freebie challenge at The Outlawz since it began nearly two and a half years ago so imagine how pleased I was to see one of Mary's fab designs offered as the freebie this month. Don't you just love this old time "General Store" with the dog lazing on the foot-worn porch?
I colored with my ProMarkers and cut it with a rectangle die from QuicKutz. I inked the edges to make it stand out from the background. I embossed an orange scrap of CS using a "trees" folder from Darice. The red background CS is distressed along the top edge.
The butterfly was cut with a die from Spellbinders and the little pile of leaves was made with die cuts from Dies R Us. I added a couple of pumpkins to the porch to complement the ones in the image and for those I used a die from Impression Obsession. There was so much going on with the die cuts, the embossing, and the bright orange colors that I decided there just didn't need to be any other embellishment so no ribbons or flowers or sparkly gems on this one.

What rich autumnal colours and fabulous texture, Connie ... and such a cute scene, the detailing is fantastic! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Anita :)
I have that tree embossing folder! Need to get it out. Thanks for sharing!
I first read this as "cozy autumn" and said to myself yes it is, so I'll stick with it, yes it is a cozy card.

Beautiful creation. Love the fall colors and lovely image. Thanks for joining the Crafting With An Attitude challenge.
Love that embossing folder (with fallen leaves at the bottom) and the general store image is perfect! Love how you've colored it - it does look old and reminds me of days gone by. Glad you played along with us at Words2CraftBy for our Autumn theme!
