Todays color challenge was to use
pumpkin, ruby and soft sky. I can't say I was thrilled about this combo but that is why we do the challenges..right!?
Well anyway I also decided to do my weekly challenge for the Crafty Secrets challenge found here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Lori had us do a Smorgasbord of ideas...this was really so much fun!
My pumpkin card base was inked with ruby using the pansy stamp from the old hostess set Flowers of Graditute.
The main image is From Crafty Secrets "Joys of Life" booklet ( already done and ready to mount). I machine stitched it onto the torn soft sky piece and attached a ruby rhinestone which I used a Ziggy gold pen to get rid of the silver edge. The butterfly from Natural Beauty was gold embossed and watercolored using reinkers. The left side is scored and tied to use AS A BOOKLET. HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

Oh how pretty PammyJo! I really like the bright colors and the crimped ends is a great idea. I also like how you inked the embossed background~ it really makes it stand out! Just beautiful!

You did an awesome job with that colour combo Pammyjo, this looks so rich and warm! The butterfly turned out beautifully too and I love the little loops of cord under its wings - great job!
