Fall Inspiration from SUO Challenges

Mornin' y'all!  I had a very busy day yesterday and today promises to be even busier, but let's get started with a new challenge from SUO Challenges!  Check it out:


Something about this photo made me think of the Glow of Harvest DSP that was the August Product of the Month, so I decided to really feature one of the patterns in a super quick card:


Once again, the idea came to me in the shower (where all the best ideas hang out) and I put this together in probably less than five minutes when I got to my craft room.  I am loving Golden Glow right now, it's going to be fantastic for fall cards...probably Christmas cards too!  So the DSP has a pearlized finish to it and I accented with the Calypso Coral and copper ribbon even though Calypso Coral isn't listed in the colors for the DSP, it kind of reads as a lighter hue of Cajun Craze to me.  A couple of Painted Patch Dots to accent the greeting and it's done.  You could make this card with pretty much ANY patterned paper and whip up an entire army of cards in no time.

I hope you'll join us for this challenge and upload your card to the SUO Challenges blog.  Don't forget to keep it to Stampin' Up! products only--it's in the name of the challenge after all.  Have fun!
