Hello and welcome to The Challenge! Each week we have a fun challenge for you to try! This week we have an Inspiration Challenge! Halloween is less than two weeks away! Eek! I wanted to make a card with my Jane's Doodles "Autumn Blessings" stamp set from SRM Press. I inked the middle pumpkin on a post it note and then fussy cut it to make a mask. Then I stamped the middle pumpkin, and covered with the post it note "mask". Then I stamped the other two pumpkins on either side. Taking out some distress inks, I watercoloured the three pumpkins and added a wash of blue distress ink to the background. The sentiment is a sticker and the washi tape below finished off my card. I was inspired by all the patterns in the Inspiration photo! I used the fun sketch at Splitcoast Stampers.
We are thrilled to have Shona as our Featured Designer for the month and Karren as our Guest this week! Welcome, ladies! I just love your gorgeous cards!
