The Card Concept #41 & The Challenge #45

It's Thanksgiving weekend for us Canucks

and today, I'm hosting my mother-in-law, my nieces,

my nephew & my great-niece for supper.

So, I've got a lot to do, but I'm just popping in to share the card that I made for two challenges.

First, The Card Concept #41: Autumn Neutrals:

Isn't it fabulous?

I just love it!

I immediately thought of my Reverse Confetti Pumpkin Patch stamp set 

and how I'd thought of heat embossing it in white, but hadn't yet.

Well, here was my chance...

Then, I came across The Challenge #45: A Sketch:

.... and it all came together....

Here's my card:

I started with a stamper's select white cardbase and layered some

American Crafts patterned paper over top.

I diecut the largest scallop from Circles 'n Scallops Confetti Cuts

and used a post-it note to mask off the top part of the scalloped circle

so I could apply some soft stone ink to the bottom half.

I diecut the pumpkin and stem from the same patterned paper using Pumpkin Patch Confetti Cuts 

and  heat embossed the Pumpkin Patch stamp in white.

Some Natural Twine and a button finish it off.

My card is Clean & Layered.

 

Thanks for looking!
