This week we have a theme for you to try! You must use the theme and create your card in one of the styles of the designers.
Welcome back to another fun challenge! This inspiration photo is all about fall! The colors, the barn board wagon, the bittersweet berries, dried leaves and twigs. I found inspiration in the fabulous stained glass window tucked behind the lovely pumpkin display.
This delightful pumpkin is a silhouette cut file that seems to mimic the pieces of glass in the stained glass window. If you look closely you can see the 'shadow' that I created by cutting & off-set layering a darker colored pumpkin behind the top layer. A very nice effect in real life.
My apologies for the quality of the photo! I am currently camera-less until such time as my 'forgotten but found' camera arrives back in Manitoba from my recent crafting adventure in Prior Lake, Minnesota with five amazing ladies. You can read all about our adventure in this post.
We have been enjoying fabulous responses to our challenges at CCC! Thanks so much for sharing your creations with us! We truly appreciate your enthusiasm and support :)
Happy crafting!
I love the depth you got from the 'shadow'. I should do this more often because when I stack my dies, they end up slightly off anyway! lol!
ReplyDeleteEEEK! That pumpkin! LOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteBefore reading your post, I wondered if you'd layered dies! Clever girl! LOVE this sweet and simple card. Once things settle down (hahahahaha), I'd really like to play along. Anyway, am looking forward to your holiday post and am totally loving this card!! xo Bev
ReplyDeleteOOH! Love the swirly lines of that pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteAnd heaps of glorious white space! LOVE!!!
Wow!! Beautiful and elegant pumpkin! So creative.
ReplyDeleteExpertly carved, Geri ;)
ReplyDeleteThere, now that's creativity, Geri ... I hadn't even seen the half hidden stained glass window behind the loaded wheelbarrow (can I still claim jet lag?)! Such a gorgeous card (so soon after getting home!) ... a most delicious looking and rather delicate pumpkin ... and just look at all that glorious white space ... simply splendid! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSwirly, flourishy, pumpkin perfection, my friend - and the stained glass effect? Only awesome! I wouldn't have even noticed that (perhaps I need three pairs of glasses!). Love this immensely!

Geri...you just amaze me! You can turn one sweet little craved pumpkin into a stunner of a card. So classy and very elegant too. I need to find that same cut file, it is amazing. And as for you photo, it really looks very nice. So nice to see you back at your blog, your cards are amazing.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card, Geri! The pumpkin is so elegant and I would have never have noticed the stain glass window if you hadn't mentioned it. I also like that you stamped the sentiment in a matching orange instead of black. I think that helped to make the pumpkin stand out even more.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card!!! I LOVE the CAS design. That pumpkin is really fabulous. Such a wonderful card.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card and the perfectly carved pumpkin! Love the graphic design. I didn't even notice the stain glass in the photo, having said that I thought the caption read Think 'fall' when I made my first card for the challenge. Just goes to show your attention to detail really paid off with a beautiful card :)
ReplyDeleteCAS perfection!
ReplyDeleteWow!! this is such a pretty pumpkin :) love it
