Happy Sunday, everyone! Time for a new Paper Players challenge, and the talented Joanne is our hostess with a seasonal color challenge for us:
Isn't that a lovely prompt? One of the cards we made with the retirement ladies used a sweet little pumpkin image from Colorado Craft, so I decided to use that for my card, along with a couple of my favorite fall embossing folders! Here we go:
I used the sketch from FMS:
My embossed panels of Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie were sponged with Pecan Pie ink and embellished with a Basic Beige ribbon. The Basic Beige tag was embossed with a Fall Leaf Background embossing folder, then I added my Pumpkin Pie stamped and diecut image on top. I added an orange glimmer bow and some orange sequins to jazz it up a bit:
I mounted everything on a Cajun Craze card base and stamped a sentiment from Thankful Forest Friends on the inside:
Orange is one of my favorite colors, so this challenge was right up my alley! I hope you'll play along with our fallish colors---and even if you don't choose a fall theme, I am sure you can come up with a creative alternative! Share it with us at the Players and you may be our Headliner!
Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteAll this embossing makes me smile! I love the panel you created in the two tones. The tag with the pumpkin sentiment and little glimmer bow is perfect. Such a special card for someone!
ReplyDeleteYour card exudes the warmth of fall with that sweet pumpkin and the beautifully embossed background. Love all the words of thankfulness and gratitude and how you made the words pop by going over it with the darker ink. Gorgeous card, LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteA perfect fall card, LeAnne! I love the embossed background. This folder brings up so many of the iconic words associated with the season. Gorgeous shading from top to bottom! This is such a sweet pumpkin, too!
ReplyDeleteLove the inked embossed panel LeAnne - it really makes the bright orange pumpkin pop! This card is a celebration of everything good about the season!
ReplyDeleteThis card is so warm and inviting - I think it's all the textures from the embossing as well as the colours. Love those folders too - word folders are great.
