My Autumn Harvest card represents several challenges. First, today's F4A to create a harvest card. Second, yesterday's WT501 to use denim (paper pieced cover-alls.) Third, to celebrate our new QFTD, Francie (fschles.) Fourth, last Friday's F4A242 to use a pumpkin on your card. Whew! I like the challenge of trying to incorporate several challenge elements onto one card! It's FUN!
CONGRATS to Francie! This is her cute card that I cased. Instead of a multi-color/ plaid bkgrd, I used a woodgrain stencil. For my main panel, I framed die cuts and a denim clad, sweet, MFT Pure Innocence girl. I did straight faux stitching and added just one hand-crafted button instead of brads in every corner. Thanks for the inspiration, Francie!
Note: Her socks match her shirt and her gym shoes are gray but for some reason, they're showing up the same as her socks!?! Go figure!
And ... THANKS to YOU for looking!

What an awesome collaboration of all the challenges, Gabby! This little girl of the corn is adorable in her denim overalls! All the different textures, and elements, and bg, make for a fantastic harvest card!

Well this went straight into My Favs the minute I laid eyes on it. What a brilliant way to combine the challenges. The little denim overalls are precious. Love it, love it, love it.
