Happy Wednesday, peeps! Hope your week is good so far! Today’s card makes me so happy! It’s for two challenges: The Shabby Tea Room has a beautiful fall inspiration challenge of a fall theme, pumpkins and a stamped sentiment:
and Linda’s Catered Crop challenge is ORANGE! Growing up, my favorite color was orange. I remember an orange dress that I made in high school, and if you look in my yearbook, under “likes”, orange is listed as my favorite color! SO, I jumped on these challenges! I pulled out a retired SU set that I have always loved, I think it’s called Thoroughly Thankful and my aquapainter and went to work:
I found some older Basic Grey paper and did some wonky stitching on it, then mounted my watercolored image on top, adding my sentiment in Cajun Craze at the bottom. I used Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, More Mustard and Cajun Craze for my images, and the little shadows are Crumb Cake.
I also found some pretty patterned paper but I couldn’t make it work on the front, so I added it to the inside, along with my framed sentiment:

I love this card LeAnne! You're coloring is perfection!!! What a great image - just love it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! So you colored with your reinkers? Orange never was a color I liked but in the last year it has moved up to like my 3rd favorite color. It is Micah's favorite color.
ReplyDeleteGood morning GF. I just logged in and saw this card. LOVE IT! Gosh I can't wait to sit and stamp again and get my area set up just right. I have a lot to do but wanted to comment. TFS! Have a great day! Hugs, Bev
ReplyDeleteOh, I remember this set - it was one of my favorites, but I've never seen it worked as beautifully as this. This is beyond stunning! I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this stamp set LeAnne and what a beautiful card you made with it! I haven't been a big fan of most of the newer autumn stamp sets and I wish they would bring back something more traditional like this.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! I love all that orange and you've watercolored it beautifully!
ReplyDeleteOh PS I love your stitching, too! Someday I'll have to dust off my sewing machine and give that a try!
ReplyDeleteTotal stunner LeAnne! I always loved that set too. Just gorgeous. Love the little pumpkin too - how adorable! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Still not back in my office after the flooding - yuck. DH is home though and plugging away at all the home tasks that went by the wayside while he was seaside. ~chris

From one orange lover to another...great card. Your coloring with shading is just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteShe is the sweetest pumpkin of all. Your card is really pretty. I love your stitching and the addition of the burlap ribbon. You got your fill of orange didn't you? I can imagine how much fun you had making this.

ReplyDeleteAdorable card! It will work for the Raisin Boat challenge this month. It hasn't gone live yet but will soon, I hope.
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, love your festive fall card! The wonky stitching is the perfect detail on your card!
ReplyDeleteI love this card, LeAnne! Your coloring is beautiful -- especially the shading around the borders. Orange is one of my favorite colors too, and that has passed on to my two girls. My eight year-old wants to paint her room orange. Yikes!!
