THE CARD CONCEPT CHALLENGE #20





Don't you just LOVE the colors and all the fun stuff in this latest CCC challenge? Honestly, my poor old brain was spinning so fast I darn near toppled off my chair!  

Needless to say, it took me a fair bit of time to decide which direction to go with my card. I finally chose to focus on a 'less busy' version of the black & white checkered table cloth (hence the simple hand drawn lines) as well as the vibrant orange from the color palette.

The bold sentiment and the sweet wee pumpkin are Silhouette files, each sporting three layers to create some nice depth & dimension.

That's it! Easy peasy and relatively quick to assemble, especially if you have striped paper on hand (which I did not!).

We would love to have you join us for this challenge and look forward to seeing what part of the photo will inspire you!

Happy crafting!

  12. Hello, my wonderful 'down the road friend who I hope to see in November (fingers crossed)'! Your card is boo-tiful, with that bold sentiment, straight stripes (even with a ruler, I'm challenged!) and that sweet, bright pumpkin, smiling away brightly. Super duper exponentially cute!! I'm 'this close' to going full tilt with Halloween 'stuff' for the kiddos...and your big "boo" has given me an idea! So wonderful to see a Geri-post pop up in my Feedly...I'd happy dance, but I'm a work *grin* (maybe I will anyway...)
    Hugs~c
