I started with an Orange Zest card base which I distress inked on the edges with Rusty Hinge (Tim Holtz).
I embossed the Grace's Frame Cuttlebug folder on Dark Chocolate cardstock and cut it out around the edges. Using a craft knife and a ruler (for the straight parts), I cut out the unembossed center of the frame.
I cut out a piece of Summer Sunrise cardstock to fit beneath the frame, distress inked the edges with Wild Honey (Tim Holtz) and then embossed it with D'vine Swirls. Using a clear Spica pen, I went around the embossed ridges of the swirls (difficult to see in the picture). I adhered it to the back of the frame with plain ol' Scotch tape.
For the sentiment, I die cut and embossed kraft cardstock with a Deckled Mega Rectangle die (Spellbinders) and distress inked the edges with the Rusty Hinge. Using Versamark ink and clear embossing powder, I stamped and heat set the sentiment. Using a Xyron, I adhered the sentiment to the mat.
For the "flower," I arranged some fabric maple leave and punched a hole in the center with my Big Bite (more difficult than it sounds!). I inserted a fall-themed brad through the hole and clamped in place. Using a hot glue gun, I adhered it to the assembled mat and then adhered the whole mat to the card at an angle.
I used the A2 Envelope Liner die and Autumn Abundance patterned paper to finish off the kraft envelope.
