Pumpkin Stack

Hello --It's an  ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE at Brown Sugar Challenge our sponsor this month is

For my card, I am using the image, Stacked Pumpkins.  I used markers and a water brush on the pumpkins.  For the card front, I blended Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Fired Brick, Dusty Concord, Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet, Faded Jeans and Soot across the front.
Out of black card stock I cut using Lawn Fawn: the fence, using Penny Black: the tree and using MFTs: the stitched flag.  The sentiment was stamped in white embossing powder and a holiday stamp by Avery Elle.  The leaves were cut with a Spellbinders die 'foliage' out of scrap blended with Mustard Seed, Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint.  All set on a black cs front and then again on a black cs side fold base.  Spooooooky.

I hope you have fun playing along with this month's challenge, remember, it's anything goes.

Thanks for stopping by.

Big Doggie Hugs

New challenge at 

The Crafters Cafe.

The theme for this round is

Use Borders or Use Metal

The sponsors for the challenge are
QKR STAMPEDE and
DeCosse's Dynamite Doodles

I'm going with borders and a little bit of metallic.....
For my card, I'm using QKR Stampede's image 'Doggie Bone' and I used color pencils on the image.  I then blended Cracked Pistachio and Broken China Distress in the background of the image.  I cut a plaid piece of paper from Recollections and a teal piece of card stock to use as frames/borders.
The sentiment is a pale blue cs stamped with silver embossing paper with a MFT clear stamp and cut with a stitched die.
The BIG HUGS was cut with a Simon Says die out of Silver metallic CS. All of this was set on a brown CS front with faux stitching with a white gel pen and then added again to a pale blue side fold cs base.

Hello everyone from 
Try Stamping (or Not) on Tuesday.  

The challenge this week is a sketch challenge - see below with embossing.

For my card, I started with a digi stamp from QKR Stampede and I used colored pencils.
I trimmed it down and then used a scalloped circle die from Sizzix.  I then cut another scallop larger to frame out the image.
Following the sketch, I cut a piece of grey, blue and white paper from Recollections.  I cut the flags on the side from light blue and grey cs. I stamped the sentiment with glitter blue embossing powder from Simon Says and then ran faux stitching with a white gel pen.  I tagged them all together with a cream flower metal brad.  The front panel was cut and embossed with a swirl folder from Sizzix and every thing was mounted on a grey side fold base.
So cute.

Here is the sketch for the challenge.

I hope you have fun working with this challenge.
