Calico Pumpkins–CTD #212

CTD212_2012oct3


Hi, all! It’s Wednesday so it’s time for the Color Throwdown! Today’s colors are brought to you  by ME :) I recently got some of this patterned paper and I just love it! So much so that it’s what I’m using for my inspiration for this week’s colors.

I decided to do a little Fall scene today, using a ton of MFT Die-namics dies. I’m using Die-namics Picket Fence, Die-namics Primitive Pumpkins Die Only, Die-namics Fresh Cut Grass, Die-namics Flat-Bottom Clouds, and Die-namics Sunshine. I made my little wire tendrils for the pumpkins, did a little Distress Ink sponging, tied some baker’s twine around and that’s it--it was done. I’m also using Whip Cream card stock and Hot Fudge card stock from MFT.

Here’s the inside with a sentiment put together using More Essential Sentiments and Inspired by Months Of the Year.
