Rustic Harvest

This is a cute pumpkin/fall card!
I love the way it turned out.
It is a totally Susie card!
And the inspiration came from a card that my friend Ruth Bingle sent to me. 
 
I used the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder
& ripped a strip of it to showcase the
Rustic Harvest DSP! 
 
This is a fun z fold card!
Notice the twine?
I separated it & only used about half of it so that it wasn't so thick & bulky!
How did I rip it?
I measured about 1 1/4" from both edges of card & ripped towards myself.
Then roll up the piece you rip, stick it down with adhesive of your choice. 
I then added a piece of 2 x 4" DSP behind the ripped opening, 
so that it showed thru to the front side.
