Cut it Up Challenge #291 ~ Friends and Family

Hi Crafty Friends,
Time for Cut it Up challenge #291 ~ Friends and FamilyCan you believe we only have four more challenges left in this year?  Time flies!!
Here's my card for this challenge.

I tried a new technique on this card, embossing on velum.  I used a 3D embossing folder from Altenew.

I ink blended some fall colors on 80# smooth card stock and then added the velum over it.  I lightly brushed some Altenew white pigment ink over the embossing to emphasize some of the design.  The scalloped frame is from Jaded Blossom and the sentiment was created using a Betterpress letterpress plate.  I cut the sentiment outline out three times and slightly offset each layer for some added detail.

A twine bow and some Spellbinders gold embellishments finished the card.

I hope you'll play along with us.  Just follow the link above.
