Saturday means another challenge at Our Creative Corner, and this week we're led by the talented Wendy Janson!
Wendy's given us pumpkins as a theme - either the image or the color - you decide.
I tore a scrap of some older Basic Grey embossed vellum and added a mix of Bo Bunny and Stampington papers. I inked the circle and rectangle pieces with brushed corduroy distress inks and heat embossed, to tone them down so they'd look better with the vellum. I used three EK punches (zigzag, scallop, and label), a butterfly from a magazine, and a few brads. Everything is edged in black soot distress ink.
The layout of the card came from this sketch at Mojo Monday:
I hope you'll pop on over to the OCC blog and see what Wendy and the rest of the design team have created. The challenge is open to all and runs through midnight on Friday, November 18th.
Thanks for visiting!

Marjie, I always love your work! I'm a huge TH fan, but I can never make my things look as great as you, so I sit here and just admire your fabulous work!
And yes, when I first read the challenge, I was like, oh, I got this. Then when I sat down at my crafting table it was a struggle!
Love your card! and I love how you fiddled with your supplies. You make it all sound so easy. Glad that you're here :)
Have a great week!
