I am joining in Papertrey Ink’s blog hop for October and this month the inspiration photo contains traditional fall colours, shapes and items. While I wanted to keep to the fall theme I also wanted to break away from the very literal interpretation of the photo.
The first thing that caught my eye was actually the green dotted fabric on top of the pile of fabrics; I love dots so I had to use a green dotted paper as the base of the card.
In order to avoid the “pumpkin trap” I focused on the acorns. Sadly, I don’t own the acorn PTI set but I did have an old set of Basic Grey felt embellishments that contained a single felt acorn. While I didn’t notice it until now when I am writing up my blog post, I see that the photo contains a fabric that has a wood pattern and I’ve used a paper with a similar pattern.
I wanted to add some orange to the card without it becoming too overwhelming. I simple added a tab and a small button.
While I do love stitching on my paper projects it seemed to be absolutely essential to add some stitching to this card since the inspiration photo is of sewn pumpkins. My stitching is just a simple frame around the card but I love how it adds dimension.
I’ve used 2009 Autumn tags as well as Think Big Favorites #7. The papers are from Scenic Route and Jillibean, the tab from October Afternoon, the acorn is by Basic Grey. Other items include seam binding, jute, small pearl.
Sikke en fin og gennemtænkt løsning af den opgave. Og lækkert at se et fint efterårskort uden det skriger langt væk af græskar . =0) Mon ikke man kunne finde ud af at håndklippe sådan nogle små agern – de er rigtig søde.
Very pretty! I love all the layers and texture!
Først et lidt forsinket tillykke med at du er blevet kandidat. Det ser ud til at du havde en rigtig dejlig dag. 🙂 Hvor havde du bare pyntet flot op på bordene og ved te kage bufféen 🙂
Super flot efterårskort. Flotte detaljer. Vild med det lille agern, ja mon ikke man selv kan lave sådan et.
Rigtig skøn uge 🙂
I like the splash of green and the panel behind the acorn, nice job.
Rigtig flot efterårskort!
Very veautiful design, I love all the layering 🙂
Fantastic card! I love how you incorporated different elements from the inspiration photo.
I love the modern shabby feel to this card! Beautiful!
Love the shabbiness of your card. That acorn is adorable.
Cute card! And a great job on the challenge!
Lovely card. 🙂 I love the patterns and colors you chose, and all the perfect little elements that give it just the right feel. Great job! 😉
Virkelig et skønt kort – elsker din stil 🙂
