Red Gate Farm for The Paper Players

Happy Sunday, y'all!  I hope you enjoyed Joanne's candle-centric challenge last week, and that you are ready for a new Paper Players challenge today!  LeAnne has some fun seasonal colors for us:

Since I was busy making what felt like eleventy-billion cookies last week, I didn't get my card done until late in the week and that was after I had already made three or four different ones in my head before I finally got up to the warcraft room to make one for real life.  I had initially been planning to use watercolor paper and do something like I used on a few cards here, but this is what actually happened:

I borrowed a page from Jaydee's book and went to town with my dies.  I had used the pumpkin stamps and the stencils in the Painted Pumpkins bundle, but I had not yet used the pumpkin dies that don't go with a stamp and I saw the gate and fence dies and my Nancy Drew-obsessed brain said RED GATE FARM because #6 is The Secret of Red Gate Farm and then I *had* to make a red gate.  I was planning to use both the pumpkins and some die-cut sunflowers, but in the end I went pumpkins only and used the Sunflower Fields DSP in some neutral browns to ground my scene, and my greeting is from Radiant Sunflowers.

This went out with a package to my pal Krissy yesterday...I had gotten some fall decor and showed her pictures and she really liked what I got so then I had to get her the same things because she needs some postal sunshine right now.  I told her I got her one little figurine that's got a doggo with a pumpkin and a sunflower, but I had a real "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" moment and ended up getting her like six different things so that will be a surprise for her.
