Instructions:
1. Follow the instructions below for embossing with a light box and create your pumpkin motif on the natural paper. After the motif is complete, lay your stencil on the embossed side and chalk the images to give them a bit of color. Cut the image out in a rectangle shape and chalk the edges of the cut piece as well.
2. Cut a piece of mesh ribbon smaller than the card and stick it first on the card.
3. Use stick glue and stick the rectangle on a piece of dark green cardstock. Cut then the cardstock out leaving a 1/8 inch border around the paper. Stick now the rectangle on to the card using the double sided sticky tape.
4. Cut a piece of mesh ribbon about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long. Bend it in the middle and tie a piece of the satin ribbon around it in a bow. Place a 3-D foam pad to the back of it and then stick it to the top left corner.
