The Paper Players Color Challenge



Anne Marie is the hostess at The Paper Players and she has a color challenge for us:


Pumpkin Pie - Pale Papaya - Early Espresso
and ONE additional color of your choice

I had to look up the color Pale Papaya as I don't have it...hope this was close enough! 

The colors reminded me of my mom and how much she loved fall. So I had her in mind when I made this card, wishing she was still around to give it too! Her birthday would have been last week too, so maybe that's why I am missing her more lately. Hard to believe she has been gone for soooo many years! 

I cut 3 leaves with Impression Obsessions Big Leaves die set and did a bit of sponging on the edges. Then I adhered it to a Tutti Design slimline dotted rectangle. I stamped the sentiment from Hello Bluebird's "Pumpkin Time." 

AND I am so glad that there are Octobers...fall is such a beautiful season!

What beautiful leaves and it's sweet that they make you think of your mom and her love of the season. I'm sure she would have loved this one! I love the sentiment and the light sponging! Anne of Green Gables is a favorite of mine! Have an awesome week!

One of my most favorite quotes ever. Beautiful card, simple elegance. I go through spells when I especially miss my Mom, too.

Such a beautiful card to celebrate the fall season, Laurie! I'm sure your mom would have loved this card, too. I just love the slimline card and how the gorgeous leaves just steal the show!
