Happy Fall with texture!

I've got a fun tag to show you today! I've used a Core'dinations tag, as well as some paper from the white wash line to create this fun pumpkin!
 I've embossed the pumpkin with a cuttlebug folder & sanded. The tag uses the faux letterpress technique that Erin's challenged us to use at Do More With Less. I put the guidelines plate & chamomile tea ink to work (PTI). Sentiment is PTI, ink SU!
 I used May Arts satin leaves & glued a few pieces of burlap string together for the stem. More of that cool fabric that I've frayed the edges on. That's 1" satin/grosgrain edge through the grommet- gorgeous!
My friend, Cindy, is on the Shabby Tea Room DT, and she's hosting this week- here is the inspiration; added element is dry embossing.
I'll also add this to the Moxie Fab World Textured to perfection challenge!
And thank you to those that have stopped by the May Arts blog & checked out my post for this FAB swap! If you haven't stopped by head over & check out what else I've done with these items- and don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win some for yourself!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'd love to hear what you think! :)

Fabulous tag and the ribbon is what really makes it stand out, way to round up a double hitter for my challenge, and just before the end of the game, woo hoo! Thanks for playing with Do More With Less, :)
