Sweet Pumpkin Ghost

Mornin’ y’all! Bear with me, the hubs has been bogarting the computer so I am typing this on my phone, which is a first for me. Anyway guess what? I was picked as the Featured Artist on the Color Throwdown recently!



And that means that I get to be a guest designer on this week’s challenge! Squee!! Here it is:


I read those colors as Lemon Lolly, Pretty in Pink, and Peach Pie, a pretty sweet pastel trio. But given that it’s October, I really wanted to go spooky with this palette. Here’s where I landed:


It seems like Michaels has a lot of pastel Halloween stuff right now so I went in that direction with this pumpkin ghostie from Playful Ghosts. Happily for me, the Unbounded Beauty DSP has Peach Pie and Pretty in Pink, so I chose two patterns from that and added a layer of Lemon Lolly that I stamped with Sketched Plaid.  I CASEd the layout from this card by Mary Fish.

Okay typing a blog post on my phone is tedious so I’ll add more info later. Thanks to the Color Throwdown team for inviting me to join in as a guest designer, I had so much fun!
