this is my card for CC860. Jeanne is our hostess and she chose crushed curry, pumpkin pie, balmy blue, early espresso for her color combo. Dessert option is fall.
For my card I used dies from CottageCutz to create a fall card. The background paper is from the Stampin'-Up "follow your art" collection.
I used a pumpkin embossing folder for the center panel. The leaves are sponged with fossilized amber, carved pumpkin and spiced marmalade distress inks. They match the Stampin'-Up shades for this week.
For the watering can, I cut in gray granite (neutral) and added some balmy blue for trim. I sponged the cardstock with the same shade of ink.
Hope you can play along with us this week. We are entering into the Fall season soon and Jeanne has given us a head start with some great fall colors.

Mary, like the other design team members, you have really embraced these fall colors. So gorgeous and I love that little watering can as the focal image.

Mary this is so pretty... You've orchestrated this week's colors in perfect harmony! I just want to say "it's very pleasing to the eye" and I wouldn't change a thing. The background dsp brings everything together beautifully too! Love it!
