For my background I used Gina K's Thick Brush stencil and lightly blended purple ink to tie in a little more color to the card. The die cut flowers and leaves are from Honey Bee's Lovely Layers: Autumn Bouquet and I finished with my die cut sentiment from MB's Just a Note Posh Script. Simple but I really like the Autumn vibes this card gives off!
The DT and our Special GD Bobby have lots of awesome and fun inspiration to get you started and you can check it all out right HERE. This challenge is open till Wednesday, Oct. 29th @ 9:00AM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
A beautiful pumpkins and watering can floral arrangement, Marcia. I want a real life version for my front door; pretty, eye-catching and definitely a creative, wonderfully inspired way to showcase the challenge colours.

This is just perfect for those colors. It's nice to see these colors being used in a non-halloween way. The scale of both work perfectly together.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely die cuts of pumpkins and pitcher Marcia - So pretty with the lightly inked stanciling and fall stems! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteWhy does it seem like I've seen this beauty before? OH!! Because I did - IRL no less!! Such a wonderful way to bring those colors to life, Marcia!

Marcia, this is so pretty. Love the pitcher full of purple and gold flowers and the fun pumpkins. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteThere's my favorite pumpkins again! I love them with the pitcher of flowers alongside, and I'm a big fan of sandable cardstock, too. You leafy background is perfect. You used these colors beautifully, Marcia!
ReplyDeleteMarcia, I'm so glad you made a card to show other uses of this color combination and what a stunning card it is! The soft stenciling in the background is so eye catching, as is the beautiful vase of autumn florals. I remember sandable paper by Bazille from years ago; is that the brand you're using? Anyway, all in all, simply a gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card, Marcia! I love your use of the colors and the elements are perfect. I would love to have this arrangement on my front porch, Friend
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you made a fall inspired card for this challenge. I think your wonky pumpkins are just terrific along with your watering pitcher. Love all the texture on your dies and the background too. Well done my dear!
ReplyDeleteLovely fall card Marcia. Love the abstract pumpkins and the pitcher of pretty purple & gold flowers. Great use of the challenge colors.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see the direction you went with the colors, Marcia! This is a pretty autumn card. Love what the soft stenciling adds!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I enabled the Autumn Bouquet and you may just have enabled those fabulous pumpkins, Marcia. I've been debating since I don't make many Fall or Thanksgiving cards but I sure do love the look of them, especially with the pitcher of dried flowers. I'm sad I gave away most my sandable paper years ago.
ReplyDeleteI meant to thank you for having me as a guest for this challenge.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the soft stenciled background and your gorgeous pumpkins and flowers. Wonderful Fall card using the challenge colours Marcia! xx
ReplyDeleteI am so loving these abstract pumpkins, Marcia! They are so pretty against the stenciled background and the Pitcher filled with Fall flowers completes this lovely scene!
ReplyDeleteMarcia, this fall arrangement is just beautiful! The sandable cs is fabulous for the pumpkins, florals, and the pitcher! I think I used to have some of that, but I have no idea what happened to it. It's just perfect here.
ReplyDeleteWell done for showing us an alternative to Halloween, great use of those colours. Infact you inspired me to create a crad for an upcoming challenge! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh! This is so pretty! I had totally forgotten about the sandable cardstocks. I'm sure I have some in my stash. It really adds to the feel of your design.
