Peggy's combo for us this week is Honey, Blackberry and Vanilla with a dessert option to use splatters. I have a FEW splatters on the pumpkin and just above it.
My bg base was sponged with honey and blackberry inks and then overstamped with ledger and flourish in honey ink. The leaves and acorns were die cut and sponged. The pumpkin I drew with a Copic Multiliner and then sponged with the same inks again. The Quinn Flourish was cut in half and placed along the bottom edge. Layered the tag, branch and leaves in the upper right. The stripe borders were stamped and tucked along either side.
The colors gave me fits to start with but once I got it going it all came together. Thanks for taking a look and I hope you play along with the color challenge this week.

Wow! These two colors combined really make a wonderful autumn pumpkin! I love how you sponged them together. Your layering of the other elements is awesome!

What a splendid background for your amazing pumpkin! I really envy your sponging technique that's for sure! :-) That cluster of oak leaves in the corner is gorgeous. I really like the attention to detail in your shading of the leaves. This is a marvellous card!
