Hey Pumpkin

Second post of the day and I feel better now that I've made something orange for the start of October : )  And also I've had two cups of tea and it's not even lunchtime yet.  Here's my quick little card:


The pumpkins are from Playful Ghosts, which I tried really hard not to get but here it is, and Warms My Heart, which I have had fun playing with a couple of times already.  I used the color challenge just posted to CAS Colours & Sketches:



In general, I am *Not A Fan* of Wild Wheat, so I figured my best bet was to use it as little as possible, ha!  So I used the dark Wild Wheat Blend for the pumpkin stems and the light one for the ground under the pumpkins, plus a single Wild Wheat Faux Glass Dot for an accent.

This card also works for the Paper Players challenge:


This time I went right down the center with patterned paper (just a scrap of Countryside Inn), die cuts, and fall.  The fun part of tic-tac-toe challenges is how many different directions you can spin the same board.

Okay, I really do need to do some actual work now getting some things ready to sell.  And later today I am hoping to start a new Halloween cross stitch project, so I'd better get that work done.  Cheers, y'all!

Stamps:  Playful Ghosts, Warms My Heart
Ink:  Night of Navy, Stampin' Blends in Pumpkin Pie, Wild Wheat, Old Olive

I'm right with you on Wild Wheat Christy and I think you've done an excellent job in using it sparingly on your card (I cannot imagine why anyone would want it to be the main colour lol!) Love this sweet CAS card and now I'm wanting 'Warms My Heart' just for that sentiment!! Perfect for both CAS Colours & Sketches and our Paper Players challenge this week!
