Hi everyone! Hope you’re having a great Sunday….Anne Marie is our hostess this week at the Paper Players….check out these lovely autumn colors she’s chosen for her challenge:
I apologize in advance, because I am pretty sure I have already made a card pretty similar to this one in the past, but these images are so perfect for the challenge colors, I couldn’t help myself!
I purchased this Impression Obsession set several years ago at a stamp show, and it continues to be one of my favorites! I stamped the images in the challenge colors, punched them out with SU’s 1” punch, then punched mats with the Postage Stamp punch in matching colors:
I mounted it on a stitched mat (Lil’Inker) and popped the whole shebang on a Baked Brown Sugar card on which I stamped the leafy swirl in BBS ink as well. I snagged a few complementary sequins from the Project Life Seasonal Snapshot accessory kit that we received at convention and added them for a little sparkle!
I can’t wait to see what you come up with using these colors—as usual, the PP designers have outdone themselves, so be sure to check out their blogs:
Cassidy’s cast hasn’t deterred her from playing “fruit ball” with Grampy (I know, this is a weird-looking ball, right?! As well as being dirty!):
You holler out a name of a fruit and then kick it to Grampy….she made this game up! And she got quite upset when Grampy called out “tomato” and she informed him that a tomato was a vegetable, LOL!
Enjoy your day!
Good for Cassidy knowing tomatoes are veggies!
ReplyDeleteLove your card LeAnne, the double punching of the little squares is so adorable and the stamps perfect for Fall. I really like the overall vine stamping and the touch of color with your burlap. Beautiful font in the sentiment too.
Such a pretty card. I love all the textures and fabulous rich colours! I love the idea of fruit ball - may have to borrow that one for some of the kiddos I work with! Gives me lots of other ideas - veggie ball, weather ball, etc. Great for building concepts and vocabulary for the kiddos I work with!!! So glad I stopped by! :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty for fall! Glad to see Miss C is up and at 'em!
ReplyDeleteLove these sweet little images--I can see why you couldn't resist them for these colors! Glad to see that the cast isn't stopping Cassidy! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see the postage punch as the matting to your lovely stamped images. Great use of the colors!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this, LeAnn! What a gorgeous stamp set, and your layout is just perfect for the color combo! Fruit ball, how funny! Hmm but I thought a tomato is technically a fruit...
ReplyDeleteLove the layout, never tire of it and what a taste of Autumn goodness you have dished out today!
ReplyDeleteI love the fruit game..what a great idea she had!
ReplyDeleteThe stamp set you chose really does work well showcasing this weeks colors. I love the lil bling form the sequins, and of course my fave..the stitched rectangle!
Gorgeous card, LeAnne! Those stamps are just perfect!! And Grampy's right -- technically tomatoes ARE a fruit!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you would reproduce a similar card, this is so pretty!! Love the colors and the burlap banner. Cassidy's game sounds like a good one, I'll have to remember that for a few years down the road LOL!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, how beautiful this is. I love how you incorporated the four colors in the four images. You could have stopped there! But the ribbon and multicolor sentiment on the tone on tome background are the perfect match!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, LeAnne! I love the stamp set and the sentiment and sequins are perfect! XX
ReplyDeleteAw. Love the sketch on this, the colors you used, and those fab autumn stamps!
ReplyDeleteLots of great textures in this gorgeous card Leanne. TFS it!
ReplyDeleteLove the stamps you've used for your card - they look beautiful in this week's colours. I love that sentiment too- this card sums up everything good about Autumn!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those Go-To Sketches and works so well for your images and challenge colors! A perfect fall card~
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I love the four images stamped with the individual colors, it really helps to showcase each one of them. The sequins are the perfect finishing touch
ReplyDeleteHugs

ReplyDeletePerfect autumn images. I love them in these colors - and the burlap banner is a lovely touch.
