PP708 Gingham Fall Sketch from Joanne

Happy Sunday, peeps! Joanne is our Paper Players hostess this week and she has a very interesting sketch for us! I really had fun playing with it too!  Check it out:


When we were at Cape May, I saw a cute little wooden pumpkin in a gift shop and it was decorated in orange buffalo check:

I thought it would be fun to try to recreate it, although SU's retired Buffalo Check would have been a bit too large for this card, so I searched the internet and found some orange gingham and went to work:


My pumpkin is a diecut from Papertrey; I cut out all the panels and sponged the edges with some Peach Pie ink to give them a bit of contrast and cut the leaf and tendrils from Old Olive. I continued the plaid theme with my vertical panel and chose the unusual color of Pool Party for my base, which I embossed with a Darice embossing folder.  


I used a CTMH sentiment and I stamped and punched some leaves from the retired Beautiful Autumn bundle:


I stamped a sentiment from Beautiful Autumn on the inside as well!


I love the bright cheerful look of this card, and it was a lot of fun to figure out Joanne's sketch!  I hope you'll play along with us this week too!  Check out what the DT created with this fun sketch at the Paper Players to get some inspiration!  

Friday night we went to the Solanco (Southern Lancaster County) Fair....it was the most crowded I have ever seen it! The weather was mild and the people were MANY!  I took a video of one of the events---I am not even sure exactly what they call it, but you'll see in the video:



So much fun to watch!  Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

I can't believe that little pumpkin didn't jump right into your shopping bag, LeAnne! Your recreation is even cuter - and oh, I see the pool party in that perky plaid! It's like the clear sky in above the pumpkin patch! Happy Fall indeed!

What a fabulous translation of the wooden pumpkin to a paper pumpkin. It's so very warm and rustic - cosy like a blanket. The embossed background is great. It's funny thinking of you welcoming in autumn when spring is beginning to flourish here.

How clever to use the pumpkin as inspiration for your card LeAnne; I just love the gingham and embossed background together - a lovely way to welcome fall! The haybale racing looks like fun too!

Isn't fun to find inspiration in unexpected places? I love how your gingham pumpkin turned out and using pool party for the base was a stroke of genius. Love orange and light blue together. Gorgeous card, LeAnne!
