This week, Laurie is hosting our Theme Challenge.
Color Combo:
Well, it’s officially November. Can you believe it? The weather here in South Texas has finally cooled off a bit, so it finally feels a bit more like Fall. In just a few short weeks, it will be time for Thanksgiving here in the United States. This challenge was perfect to get some cards made to send out to family and friends for the occasion.
*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
For my card, I decided to pair up two stamp sets. I used a trio of pumpkins from the Gather Together stamp set along with the sentiment from the Banner Year stamp set. Of course, I HAD to use my favorite Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper because it’s so perfect for so many different occasions. I really like how the pumpkins stood out against this Pretty Peacock plaid.
I also added some extra texture to the background using one of the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders and sponged a little ink around the edges to add some shading. I heat embossed the sentiment and added it below the trio of pumpkins to ground them so they weren’t just floating on the die cut label. There is also some Wink of Stella on the pumpkins because everything is better with a little sparkle, right?

Finally, here is a peek inside the card. I added a little pop of the plaid DSP and another pumpkin to keep the party going from the front of the card. I opted not to add a sentiment to leave some space for a handwritten note.
