IB144 Autumn Blessings

Hey peeps!  Happy Thursday!  Happy October!  Our beautiful Inspired By photo is this one for the week:

Love it!  And here's our sketch, which I sorta followed:


And here's my simple card; I was inspired by the little wreaths with the pumpkins, as well as one of the pillows and the soft green color:


A stamped a wreath from CTMH's Woodland Greetings in Stazon black directly on some My Mind's Eye papers, then colored each little element in with a blender pen and ink.  The pumpkins are from the retired Pick a Pumpkin set, stamped in Mellow Moss and backed with some Old Olive linen thread:


I combined the words from a couple different sets for the sentiment and added a fussy-cut leaf from the CTMH set; then it all went on a Mellow Moss card base:


I am also submitting this to Hand Stamped Sentiments' Mood Board challenge, too, as those little pumpkins in the top row just make me happy!:




There are so many elements from this photo that could inspire you...which ones will you choose?  Share your creation with us at Inspired By so we can see it too!  Thanks for popping in today!

And here are a few autumn blessings from around the field that I saw recently:

       



I love how even weeds can be beautiful!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

"He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for man to cultivate--bringing forth food from the earth: wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread that sustains his heart."  Psalm 104:14-15
