Inkspirational Colour Challenge - Orange & Green

Hey everyone!  Guess what time it is?  It's time for a new challenge over at Inkspirational!  Yay!  We've got a colour challenge for you this time.  It's Orange and Green.


You can use any shade of orange and green and neutral colours are fine like beige, black and white.  We're also fine with natural skin tones and hair/fur tones but all other colours are off limits.  At first I thought it was going to be hard to use just orange and green. I was stumped for an idea.  I thought I could do flowers then an idea popped in my head.  Pumpkins!  Now pumpkins come in a variety of colours but orange and green are the most familiar.  So I went with that.  Take a look...

 

I stamped my pumpkins (small and medium ones are by Lawn Fawn and the larger one is from Michael's) in black using some masks I made on beige cardstock.  Then sentiment (made from two stamp sets, the "for you" is Lawn Fawn and the "thankful" is STAMPlorations) is stamped in black as well.  Then I coloured the pumpkins in with my Spectrum Noir markers.  This card makes me think of fall and Halloween, both of which I love.  :-)

I do hope you'll join in on the fun with us!  You must check out the other DT's projects too. They are all fabulous!  We also have a wonderful Guest Designer joining us by the name of Chriss from the Botanical Cafe.  She has made an amazing card to inspire you.

Well, I hope you enjoyed your visit and I hope you all have a fantastic day!

I'd like to link up to the following challenges:

  11. I came 'this close' to using pumpkins - actually, I made a pumpkin background card, coloured it, had no idea what to do next and trash it - before settling on my goofy card. Your pile o'pumpkins is gorgeous, Kim! Need to find a different pumpkin stamp then the one I used and give your design a try. Love this!
