Stampin'Up!s Autumn Harvest for PPA #9
The Pals Paper Arts Challenge today was an inspiration challenge using the picture below. I love the different textures in this Pottery Barn picture and I really love all the Earth Element colors I see in it. I chose the colors as my inspiration element and created this card for my up-coming Holiday Open House using the Autumn Harvest stamp set.
The images were stamped on Natural White card stock using Stazon Black ink. I didn't worry about overlapping the pumpkins. Instead I stamped a second large pumpkin, cut it out, and popped it on top. It covers up all the overlapping.
Using the Aqua Painter and drops of Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie ink, I water colored the images. I was surprised how well the Natural White card stock worked; it took a lot of water without rippling the paper.
If you are attending my Open House this Sunday, you will see this card again as we try our hand at water coloring. This is one of the cards we will be making. If you live around the Melbourne area and would like to attend the Holiday Open House, contact me, there are still two spots available.

Good luck with your open house, Martha! This is a great fall card, and a perfect take on the inspiration sketch! Love it!
A very lovely card - and your treat holder projects are wonderful (I love making treat holders). TFS.
Martha - that card is gorgeous. You certainly have the watercolor technique down to a science and I think I can call you the masking master!
Beautiful job!

Really nice Thanksgiving card! Love the Fall color combo!
I saw on SCS you are doing 101 candy wrappers. Can't wait to see what you come up with! Great idea!
Happy Creating!
