A few days after making my fall Kitty card for a different challenge, JustRite issued their current Friday Challenge 106 - Color Inspiration for the same colors in the paper I had used. So, I grabbed more of it & my JustRite stamps to see what I could come up with.
The stamps I have are from the original style that they had before changing to cling & clear and have (sadly) been retired in the past year or so. The Pumpkin image is from the Autumn Blessings & Borders oval set. The sentiment is from the Give Thanks Nested Frames set.
I stamped 2 images in case I really screwed one up like drop an ink pad on it, glue it upside-down & backwards, get startled by the dog's sudden bark while coloring...anything can (& has) happen! Since one card was completed without incident I went on to make a 2nd card. Whoo hoo!
Here I used the Spellbinder Nested Maple Leaves, largest leaf die as the backdrop for the pumpkins. To make the black border around the leaf, I embossed the die on the black cardstock then cut it out using the outside embossed edge as my guide. In my excitement to quickly finish this card this evening, since I had it all laid out ready to glue together a few nights ago, I forgot I had colored baker's twine on my desk to put on here! I see that now that I'm looking at my picture here. Grrrr, oh well!

ReplyDeleteOops...typos on the first comment! I meant to say sweet cards! Love the layouts and the papers chosen. Your pumpkin coloring is perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteYour comment regarding the twine: I do that all the time! I take photos of my "finished cards" and then realize I forgot to assemble an element. I blame my forgetfulness on having too much tea. LOL
Have a good week!
I really like both of your cards. The papers are lovely and your design are beautiful.
