Hello! It's time for another Double D challenge. Welcome to Octoberfest! We're celebrating the lovely month of October with some of the many things we love about it. Let yourself be inspired by the mood board below:
I saw the pumpkins and flowers in the lower right corner of the mood board and decided to give some love to my Penny Black Hello Pumpkin set that didn't come out often enough last year. I combined it with an Impression Obsession sentiment thinking to send it to a friend at Thanksgiving.
I colored with Tombow markers and blender pen, then hand cut all pieces. The cardstock is sanded and the designer paper is a super oldie. This simple layout is a go-to favorite. I could do every other card this way I think. So easy when you don't have to think about it too much.
As always, the team votes on creative favorites (not an easy task), and there's a prize for a random winner.
Come on over to Double D and see the team's samples, then show us yours! Have a great day!
Beautiful card and love the amazing colours. ♥
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I love the pop of color the pumpkin brings to the table. It really shines. Have a great rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty fall card this is, Leslie! Perfectly framed and the pumpkin and sunflowers are colored brilliantly!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall card, Leslie. Love the distressing on the wood designed frames. Pretty pumpkin image and colored beautifully. Congratulations on your win at the Sizzix/ACOT Eileen Hall contest.

ReplyDeletethat is a beautiful stamp and you have just brought it to life with your coloring. I love the wood frame with it and I just can't get over how you cut out all those tiny leaves so perfectly, your friend will just love this!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. Love the composition and coloring. Have a great day
ReplyDeleteSo lovely. Beautiful image and I love your layout. I also seem to get stuck in a rut with my designs, same ones over and over. I would love to have more time to get creative.
ReplyDeleteYou do such a great job with design, color and texture. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card! I love the pumpkin with the flowers in the middle! I like the framing you did as well. That's a lot of fussing cutting! Great fall card!
ReplyDeleteLesie, your friend will be so thankful for this card!
ReplyDeleteI'm especially loving the neutrals and this fabulous, patterned paper behind your sweet pumpkin!

What a beautiful card, Leslie! Love the great image and, of course, your coloring.
ReplyDeleteYou have captured October on a card, Leslie! Love this pumpkin and your layout is one of my favorites too! Love the texture of the framing!
ReplyDeleteA charming card to give at Thanksgiving time. I am glad that you reminded us that this is a time to be thankful. There is a lot of beauty in the fall leaves and festivities and we need to acknowledge that. I like your new blog header too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Leslie, love your sunflowers over those cute pumpkins ♥
ReplyDeleteAs always so pretty Leslie. Wonderful colouring and design.
ReplyDeleteDeep sigh - what a gorgeous and whimsical creation of Fall flavors, Leslie! The hint of burlap, wood, fall foliage, and the brilliant flowery pumpkin, and highlighted "sign" of love are just amazing! Do you enjoy using your "oldies" as much as I do? It makes me fall in love with my supplies all over again! huggers, de
ReplyDeleteThank you for your recent visits to me and your lovely comments. I hope your Kalanchoe thrives, perhaps you will share a photo of it someday? I have a couple of different Kalanchoes. I love the colours on your pumpkin card and what perfect background paper and excellent framing. It pulls the whole thing together beautifully. I am hoping I might find time to join a few more challenges now there is no more CAS Mix Up, but I haven't managed to find that extra time yet! xx
ReplyDeleteLove the framing and that patterned paper, it's perfect for the whole look. Your focal is so beautiful, and beautifully colored. This is a FABULOUS design, simply gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing this pumpkin last year, and recently thought about buying it. Your coloring is gorgeous. I can't believe you hand cut all the leafy details! Perfectly! The soft papers and bit of distressing make this feel warm and loved. A real favorite!
ReplyDeleteOh, so pretty and filled with Fall Beauty, Leslie:-) I love your pretty sweet background paper, sanded framing and gorgeous fussy cut pumpkin and flowers..all so beautiful and perfectly arranged. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
