October Is My Favorite Color Cardmaking Challenge


It's time for the latest cardmaking challenge on the Impression Obsession blog! The theme is Halloween/Fall colors. I LOVE fall and Halloween colors so I got excited about this one. I hope you'll join in the fun - one participant will even receive a gift certificate to the IO Shop! Stop by the IO blog to get all the details and link up your project.

For today's card I started with the Fall In Love stamp set. I absolutely love the square images in this set. They are each separate stamps so you can use any or all of them in any arrangement you'd like. I love the simple layout of this card and I had a blast spending some time with my colored pencils to shade these sweet fall images.

And that sentiment - isn't it perfect for the FALL COLORS CHALLENGE?! It was pretty much meant to be. 
Once I colored the images I assembled a few layers of cardstock, the sentiment strip, twine and then a splattering of FSJ Dark Roast Silk across the card. I like to keep cards simple that have lots of coloring, to let the images stay the STAR of the show!
Alright friends - it's your turn. Dig through your stash of Impression Obsession stamps and dies, and see what you have that works with fall or Halloween colors! Then link it up at the IO blog! Don't have any Impression Obsession stamps and dies? I hate to be an enabler, but you really should check out their shop - every time I look, I see something I never noticed before. They have a HUGE selection, in EVERY style and theme! (#sorrynotsorry)

This card is seriously stunning! A beautiful CAS fall card if ever there was!!! I absolutely LOVE the blue mixed with the other fall colors and think the strip of blue cardstock was the perfect touch to tie it all together! You are absolutely right about the sentiment too. A match made in heaven! Pinning this to CASE soon 😊
