Pumpkins, Two Ways

The day after I finished the baby books, a friend of mine asked if I would make invitations for her daughter's birthday party...and said lil girl is a Halloween baby.  She requested purple and pumpkins, so here's what I came up with first:


Halloween colors, and a pumpkin, but still girly with the swirls in the background.  I used this week's new Global Design Project sketch:


Buuut that wasn't exactly what Sarah was looking for so here's my second try:


Sarah really liked the pumpkins I did on her daughter's baby book, so she wanted something similar to that.  I think this needs some sponging around the white panel though...I did sponge on some Pale Plum ink but it's too pale :)  Anyway, baby book.


And a closeup of the pumpkins and swirls:


The space is much smaller on a card front, and I used the pumpkins from last year's Fall Fest instead of my old favorite Carved & Candlelit because of the matching Framelits.  But anyway, there isn't room on a card front to do the swirls the exact same way so I just did them on the entire panel, and we'll see if that meets with her approval.

Anywha, for the second card I used the new Freshly Made Sketch:




So that's your two-fer today, and now I'm craving pumpkin coffee cake.  Cheers, peeps!

I like them all!! I love how you have matched patterns to the fact that it is a little girl - and to the swirls in her baby book! Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
