Card Concept 100th Challenge

Hello friends.  My dear friend Nancy invited me to be her special guest for the Card Concept's 100th Challenge!  I was so honored to be asked to play along and just LOVED the inspiration photo!


Don't those "PINK" pumpkins just blow you away?!!  The white/off-white pumpkins are beautiful too, but the pink pumpkins just really stood out to me, and that was the jumping off point for me with my CAS style card.


I used SU!'s Gourd Goodness stamp set and Gina K's Innocent Pink ink to stamp my pink pumpkins and gourd, and then used gold embossing powder on the stems of the 2 pumpkins to tie in the gold in the photo.


Here's a closer up so you can see the gold embossing on the stems and the sentiment (PTI's Choose Joy stamp set).  For my background I used PTI's Text & Texture: Wood Slices to mimic the wood slices the pumpkins are sitting on and the wooden table.  I inserted the background behind a die cut window using MFT's Rectangle Peek-a-Boo die.

Check out all the BEAUTIFUL inspiration from the talented DT and then celebrate along with the Card Concept's 100th challenge right HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
