The details are pretty simple--make a card of any theme you choose utilizing the card sketch posted on my blog and then on the sketch challenge announcement post, reply with a comment posting a link to your blog or online gallery so that everyone can view how you utilized the sketch. You have all month to complete each challenge. So there is no confusion, a "month" runs from the first day of the month through the last day of the month--example Sept. 1st-Sept. 30th.

All of the blog candy goodies that I will offer will be craft/card making related--embellishments, ink pads, images, stamps, ribbon, punches etc.


Here's today's sketch and my challenge card.

As you can see I turned the sketch.

This was a fun card to make. The main image, October Pumpkin with Leaves, is another new release stamp from DRS Designs that was just released on Monday. The small leaf in the leaf collage is new as well.

I colored the pumpkin/leaf image with markers. I used my Nesties to cut it out and then inked the edges with orange ink. I matted it as shown with different colored cardstock & some of my scalloped Nesties.

My cardstock base was made from light orange cardstock. This finished card size measures 6 1/4" x 5." Then, I cut golden yellow cardstock to fit on top of the card base so that it was slightly smaller than it, to allow an orange border to show once it was adhered to the base.

I created the look of patterned paper using 2 leaf images by DRS Designs, the Small Silhouette Leaf and the Tiny Fall Leaf with different colored inks. To take the whiteness out of the cardstock, I sponged the empty spaces with orange ink. I also used chalk to color in each of the tiny Fall leaves to add more color to my handmade pattern paper. Next, I cut the leaf paper down to the size I wanted and then matted it with dark brown cardstock. This was adhered to the golden yellow cardstock as shown in the sketch.

I then adhered my matted image to the left upper portion of the golden yellow cardstock and added a sheer orange bow to the bottom of it. I also used the same ribbon to form the vertical bar on the right hand side of the sketch, and adhered it to the underside of the golden yellow cardstock.

As a final touch, I heat embossed the sentiment, "Autumn Greetings" with copper embossing powder in the upper left corner of my card front. The card front was then adhered to the orange base.
