Jeanne is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she is welcoming fall with her crisp, autumn colors: Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Balmy Blue and Early Espresso. The dessert option is "fall."
I can't believe it's been a year since the first and only time I used this cute set from a kit last year, but I was happy to pull it out and play with it today! I used a piece of Balmy Blue DS paper for my background/sky, and a strip of woodgrain DS paper for my ground. I did a little masking to get the owl sitting on the tree stump, and paper piecing for the pumpkin. All the elements were stamped and fussy cut. I did use a tiny bit of ersatz Mossy Meadow for my pumpkin stem, and several different brown shades, all of which are considered neutrals. I even did a little tip-to-tip shading with my Copics on the leaves. A touch of glitter pen and a few gems. Oh, yes, I stamped the greeting (twice) with Early Espresso ink and then heat set with clear embossing powder!
I can't believe it's September already, but I'm embracing this week's colors, and I hope you will, too! We'd love to see what you create with this palette!

You found such a fun, happy dp background for that fun owl. Love the coloring on him and his attire. The pattern on the pumpkin just adds to the "fun" factor on this card as does that great font on the sentiment. Superb design and a delightful card.
