Freshly Made Sketches #754

Hello friends.  Judy's sketch over at the Freshly Made Sketches challenge made me put my thinking cap on, but luckily, the DT had some fantastic inspiration to get the juices flowing again!

It was the blank part at the top half of the sketch that got me, but once the idea came, it was full steam ahead. I came up with an easy AND CAS card that I really liked when finished. Take a look...

It's been a bit cooler here (and wet!!!), so I've had Fall on the brain, and this sweet little line up of pumpkins from Impression Obsession (by Lindsay Ostrom D19277) fit the bottom half of this card

perfectly!  I stamped the image in black and heat set it with clear embossing powder, and then did some paper piecing which I haven't done in quite some time!  I used dsp from PTI in Canyon Clay, Basic Kraft, & Hawaiian Shores and fussy cut out each pumpkin and I really love how this came out.

For the top half of the card I used a piece of kraft cs and embossed it with my SU! Subtle ef.  I finished it quite simply with a piece of narrow seam binding ribbon to cover the center of the card and then added a strip sentiment from Gina K's All At Once Greetings that I embossed in white on black cs. I used foam tape behind the sentiment for a bit of dimension and then told myself to leave it as it really didn't need anything else.  

Nothing like getting in at the last minute, but I craft when I can these days!  This challenge is only open till 3:00PM today, but maybe if you're quick you can still play along.  You can find the DT's fabulous cards right HERE if you need some inspiration!

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