October Paper Pumpkin for CCC22

It's Monday and I have two fun cards to share with you today.  The first card is for the sketch challenge from the Creative Challenge Club.

I have yet to use the October My Paper Pumpkin kit, so I challenged myself to make today's card with as much of the kit as possible.

So, what do you think??  Did I meet my goal?  I am pretty pleased that I was able to incorporate a stamp and two of the paper elements from the kit.

I wanted to have a muted color for the card base so I went with the Kraft Cardstock on page 192 of the catalog.  It matches beautifully with the Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper, so I used the polka dot pattern for the oval.  But before I added anything to the card, I stamped one of the feathers from Four Feathers lightly over the card base with Crumb Cake ink.

Before adding the oval, I placed one of the pie labels along the left side for one of the sketch elements.  Then, the oval went over top and the die cut feathers were added.

The sentiment was very simple to create.  On vanilla cardstock, I lightly stamped the feather then added the bold sentiment over top in Early Espresso ink.

I hope you enjoyed my take on this week's sketch with the October My Paper Pumpkin kit.  It's always fun to find alternate ways to use all the goodies in these kits.

Now it's your turn!! I hope you will join me and make a card of your own.  Just go to the Creative Challenge Club for all the details and more great samples from the Design Team.

Four Feathers

I have lots to share this week, starting with two challenges for today!  The first challenge is for the Creative Challenge Club.  We have a fun sketch for the week.

I went with soft colors and Four Feathers, a break from Christmas cards today!

I love this set, there is so much versatility!  This is a sympathy card with muted colors.  Inspiration came from the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack.  I wanted to keep the design crisp and clean with just a few colors and simple stamping.

Before adding a strip of designer paper to the center, I stamped a couple of feathers in Smokey Slate to keep the muted look.  The focal point is made up of a couple of stamps.  The watercolor background is from For All Things, stamped in Soft Sky.  The sentiment is from Blooming with Kindness from the main catalog stamped with Lost Lagoon.  The feathers are stamped and die cut with the Four Feathers Bundle.  Two Pear Pizzaz feathers and one Lost Lagoon feather surround the sentiment to finish off the card.

I also stamped the outside of the envelope to make a complete look.

We would love for you to join the challenge with us!  Just go to Creative Challenge Club for more details and great samples from the Design Team.
