Fall Fun

Hi Crafty Friends,

I would like to share a card I made with three different challenges in mind! I was going through a folder and found a beautiful pumpkin from Reverse Confetti partially coloured from....ermmm, a year ago! I had coloured half of the pumpkin and never finished it off.  When I saw that the current Reverse Confetti Stock your Stash Challenge was Halloween/Autumn Fun I decided it was time to finish colouring it and put it on a card.

Now, I often struggle with colour combo's and spend ages trying to decide what colours and shades to use.  To take the guesswork out I decided that I would play along with the current Color Throwdown Challenge especially as it had orange as one of the colours. One thing I do love about playing along in colour challenges is that it can push you to use colours that you may not use together otherwise. Normally I would not think about putting orange, purple and red together.

While I was colouring my image I began thinking about my card design and, well, I was struggling. I used to play along with Freshly Made Sketches when I crafted a little more regularly and decided I  would visit there site and check out the current sketch. When I saw it, I thought yes, this could work for me....and my card came together.

Supplies:
Reverse Confetti Stamps - With a Thankful Heart

Reverse Confetti Stamps - Pattern Blog

Reverse Confetti Dies -  Stitched Note and Frame

Tsukineko Memnto Ink - Rich Cocoa

Doodlebug Design Sprinkles - Tangerine Assortment

Doodlebug Design Sprinkles - Ladybug Assortment

Doodlebug Design Sprinkles - Lilac Assortment

Ranger Liquid Pearls - White Opal

Nuvo Crystal Drops - Gloss Blushing Red

The image was coloured with copics and cut out with my scan and cut. I added some white liquid pearls to the centre of the flowers.  To the red flowers I also added a drop of crystal pearls. I die-cut the frame from some white card stock twice and adhered them together.  I backed the opening of the frame with some natural texture paper I found it my stock.  The photos don't do this paper any justice, it is a beautiful cream colour with flecks of orange and a little shimmer. I also stamped my sentiment onto this cardstock and adhered it to the front of the frame.  The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti's Pattern lock stamp set.  I mounted the pumpkin on the top of the frame with foam tape.  I then added a few doodlebug sprinkles for embellishment.  

Apologies for the photo, the lighting was terrible today!

Thanks so much for popping by. Enjoy the rest of your day.
