Hello, Kraftie Friends!
It's a new month and a new Inspiration Challenge at Paper Sweeties!!!
Here's the beautiful photo & color combo:
Here's my card:
I distressed the edges of the orange cardstock and adhered it on card.
I embossed a grey panel, distressed the edges and added seam binding. I tied 2 small lengths of seam binding and added a bow. Then, I adhered the panel on card.
I used Thankful stamp set and black ink to stamp the hat on green cardstock and pumpkin on orange cardstock. I cut them out and colored them with alcohol-based markers and gel pen before adding them to the card (The images also have coordinating die cuts - Thankful Sweet Cuts).
Finally, I added some sequins (Paper Sweeties Cupcake Sprinkles).

Hello, Kraftie Friends!
It's the first of the week and that means it's Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge!
Here's the photo/color inspiration:
And here's my card:
Challenges:
I stamped the definitions (Thankful stamp set) and heat embossed them in white.
I die cut different images (Thankful Sweet Cuts) on the gray paper.
I added a glitter tape and adhered the stamped and die cut pumpkins on (one of them with foam tape). They were colored with a gray Copic marker.
Then, I added some sequins (Paper Sweeties Cupcake Sprinkles).
Supplies used:
An easy card using retired stamp sets from CTMH, some patterned papers and washi tape, instead of ribbon...
Supplies (CTMH):
What a Hoot (retired SOTM)
Remarkable Wreath
Others:
Washi Tape (EK Success)
KI Memories
MME
Copic Markers
I love stamp sets where you can build your own...in this case, wreath!
First, I stamped the vine wreath in brown.
Then, I stamped the leaves using red and orange ink pads.
Finally, I added the banner and the little pumpkin!
Challenges:

I was watching my son N play with my mini square ink pads the other day and I "learned" a technique from him! It's a direct-to-paper technique...nothing new, but it was the way he did it! =)
He was taking the mini ink pads and tapping them directly on paper ("kinda" of violently, I must say...), leaving these little squares with distressed colors.
So, I stamped a pumpkin (Paper Inspirations) in brown first. Then, I did the squares on each side with Red, Orange and Yellow (not so violently...):
Finally, I stamped another pumpkin, cut it out, used the mini ink pads to color it and adhered it on top of the first pumpkin.
And it might be hard to see, but the pumpkin is raised with foam tape...
Thought about adding a sentiment, but decided to leave it without (I'll probably add one inside).

I'm entering this card in the following challenge (card #2):
...and at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge (Use a Rubber or a Clear Stamp)...since I used one rubber stamp!
