We've returned from the lake and I'm trying to get back into my "urban" routine. Today I've got a fun card with so many fall colors for an inspiration challenge from the Paper Craft Crew:
Here's the challenge's inspiration photo. You can click on the photo to see the actual challenge and hopefully participate along with us!
Let's see. I'll take the wood table, the pumpkin, the colors and oh, what about those zig zag teeth on the Frankenstein cookie?
- The bouquet is actually one that I colored Labor Day weekend, intending to use it for a color challenge that was due while we were gone. It got stuck in a book and I just uncovered it while unpacking...
- I used several Blends Combos: For the Color Combination - Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler and Mint Macaron (darkened with Crumb Cake and a little Soft Suede so it could stand in for the Garden Green type color. I also took some liberty and used some Light Real Red to highlight my flowers.
- The wood tone paper was in my very first order from this year's annual catalog, In Good Taste designer series paper. I even ordered a second package to use as background in my card photo shoots. Yes, that woven pattern in the above photo is in the package too!
- The bouquet is die cut with the coordinating dies. Two borders are included. I used what is considered a negative from one of them for the zig zag edge which mimics the teeth on the inspiration photo cookie. The border is Very Vanilla which has just the right amount of contrast with the Crumb Cake card base. You can also see the layered die pumpkins that are part of this set.
- I like to keep a few of these images stamped and ready to color while we watch Netflix, or who knows? Maybe some football?
