PTI September 2018 Blog Hop Inspiration


Well, second time is a charm!  I made a card using this same inspiration photo in August and didn't get the message that the challenge had been changed to September.....so here we go again.  lol


Here's the inspiration photo.  Isn't it great!


I drew my inspiration from the pumpkins,
except I gave mine happy faces, the leaves and the plaid.....
and I made my card into a Halloween card.

  

I made the background by sponging Distress Oxide inks in Salty Ocean & Peacock Feathers.  I sprinkled a little water and some Stampendous Shabby Blue EP and heated.  The plaid was made with a background stamp from GKD called Diagonal Stripe.  I used PTI Tropical Teal & Orange Zest Ink.  I cut it with the largest of the Pierced Feature Frame dies.  If you position it in the center of the paper, it will leave a little border that fits perfectly as decoration for the inside of your card.  I added a fence decorated with sprigs of bittersweet.  The pumpkins were stamped with Summer Sunrise and rock and rolled with Zesty Orange ink.  The sweet faces were stamped in True Black.  I added some leaves stamped in Simply Chartreuse and Ripe Avocado.  I added a cute little Dracula from the MIM Halloween Pin Ups set.


Here's a peek at the card I made a month too early.

Thanks so much for stopping by to look.  Your kind comments are always appreciated.
