Double D - October

 Dear Ones~

Time for another Double D Challenge. This time our challenge is October - that's it - just OCTOBER. Here is the Mood Board provided for our inspiration:

And here is my card:

Of course I had to do a pumpkin. After all, when I think of October I think of all things pumpkin - pie, Halloween, pie, and also pie. I decided to use a Stampin' Up background die called Buffalo Plaid. It's one of my favorite images, but oh so hard to stamp. I left it a little rustic instead of trying to get a solid look.

Here are the Ingredients:

• SU Cajun Craze Card Stock
  
• Recollections Ivory Card Stock
  
• GKD Kraft Card Stock
  
• SU Terracotta Tile Ink
  
• SU Buffalo Plaid Background Stamp
  
• Inkadinkado Autumn Splendor Stamp Set
  
• Concord & 9th Layering Leaf Dies
  
• Spellbinder Fall Leaves Card Creator
  
• SU Forever Flourishes Dies
  
• SU Stitched Circle Die
  
• SU 3D Basket Weave Embossing Folder
• Stash Twine

  If you head on over to the  Double D Challenge Blog and play along, you could win this adorable die set. And don't forget to check out all the beautiful cards the other designers have created for your inspiration.  

 

AND ON ANOTHER NOTE: The lovely Darlene and the fabulous Diane of Double D Challenges have started up another challenge blog for your creating pleasure. It's called Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge.

PRIZE

A $20 gift certificate to the Gina K Designs store.

Here is my card:

For this card I used the Gina K Designs stamp set Haunts and Harvest from the new Festive Fall Card Kit.  I also used the Birthday Greetings stamp set for the background foliage behind the pumpkins. The pumpkins were colored with pencils and Gamsol. The background was done with the Harvest Flourish Stencil, included in the kit and was inked with GKD Plum Punch and Coral Reef inks. Then I applied Iridescent Glitter Glitz Gel over the inking. The photo does not do the glittery goodness justice. I used the Master Layouts 1 to cut the layers, and card stocks used were GKD Tomato Soup, Plum Punch and Ivory.
 

Glad you stopped by, and don't forget to head on over to The Mod Squad Challenge Blog and play along. You could win the prize! I can't wait to see your wonderful creations, and I adore your comments.

I hope you all are well and staying away from others as much as possible. These are strange times, aren't we glad we have our craft to keep us sane?
