Happy Wednesday, peeps! It's time for the Card Concept challenge to begin again after our summer break! Check out this amazing inspiration photo Julie wrangled up for us:
I was really challenged by this because you know I'm not a purple gal! BUT I really wanted to highlight that pretty purple leaf, and it matched our Fresh Freesia so well, I just jumped right in with the leafy pumpkin image from Pretty Pumpkins. Nowadays, pumpkins come in a plethora of colors, but I am not sure I've ever seen a purple one!
For my clean and layered card, I began by stamping a pumpkin in each of Fresh Freesia, Soft Succulent, Crushed Curry and the retired Primrose Petals colors, then fussy-cutting leaves from each color to adhere on to the Freesia one. For my background, I stamped images from one of my fall favorites, French Foliage, on a piece of Fresh Freesia and embossed it with the Timeworn Type EF. I added a couple of little tendrils in Soft Succulent and made a sentiment from Biggest Wish and Ornate Thanks:
My sketch inspiration is from the GDP challenge for this week:
