Freshly Made Sketches #702

 Cecile is our hostess this week!  Her sketch is a beauty... see for yourself:

Since it's almost harvest time - alas, all I have to pick are peppers - I thought
I'd bring this sweet little PTI set out to play!


I can hardly think of a more appropriate texture than this HB Burlap - can you?


While I'm picking peppers for pepper jelly, I hope you'll be searching
your stash to see what you'll bring to the table for FMS702!
Lots of inspiration from our team right HERE!

I'm also sharing this little punkin' with my friends at Color Hues #117

A CAS beauty, Michele! I love that textured backgroud, and each of the dies is so beautifully colored and arranged. And then a wonderful sentiment to finish it off. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!

Your pumpkin looks great and that textured background is perfect to show it off.

Wow! Love the layered pumpkin and all his friends, plus the burlap is definitely the way to go to bring them all together with the feeling of fall. Very timely card, Michele!
Whilst peppers are amazing for pepper jelly, don't forget that dried ones make great pepper salt seasoning 😁

Oh, goodness, yes! How cute and clever. I never would have thought to add the moon and star, but it's such a special and fun touch and I love it! The burlap is amazing, too!

That's the cutest pumpkin! I love the stem as much as the layers! This is a delightful fall card, Michele!

Winner! Winner! This is adorable, and a great take on the sketch. The burlap in the background gives this even more of an earthy tone. What a great combination!

That burlap is fabulous behind the pumpkin! And pepper jelly??? Who knew… not me!

Nancy said...

If the pumpkin isn't cute enough the tiny moon and star add just the right touch. I do love that background too. All in all and awesome card that we have grown to expect from you. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues.
