I still like Halloween, but I've been resisting it this year. I don't want summer to end, yet. But this week it seemed like all the color challenge blogs were offering fall combinations, and I do need a shoebox swap for my upline's team meeting this weekend, so I finally overcame my resistance:
stamp sets - Delightful Dozen, Mixed Medley (hostess); ink - Basic Black, Basic Gray, Whisper White craft; card stock - Basic Black, Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise; punch - Modern Label; Big Shot with Perfect Pennants Bigz™ die and Spider Web Textured Impressions™ embossing folder; Stampin' Dimensionals, sponge dauber
The color combination came from ColourQ and the sketch is a favorite I "pinned" from Freshly Made Sketches, which seemed perfect for my spider web, and which qualifies for the Sketch It! Shopping Our Stash challenge.
I've also been resisting Christmas, a little, but that's easier to overcome, since I still ♥love♥ making Christmas cards. I made this one using the newest sketch at Merry Monday and some of those new toys supplies I was telling you about:
stamp set - Chock-Full of Cheer; ink - Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green; card stock - Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green, Very Vanilla; designer series paper - Be of Good Cheer; punches - Extra-Large Oval, Decorative Label, 1-1/4" Circle; Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine, Stampin' Dimensionals
While trying to overcome my resistance to fall, I also made this, and I'm too pleased with it not to share:
