This week Diane has a fun challenge for the SC666 challenge. We are heading back 600 challenges ago and doing a repeat. This is an absolutely fabulous sketch to repeat as it allows lots of room for a pretty scene!
I used the sentiment "thankful" and I am feeling thankful today for many things! I am thankful that my camera happens to love these colors and I only needed to snap 4 photos to get a good one. I won't tell you how many I usually have to take! I have been gone all afternoon and evening and I had not quite finished this card when I returned home at 9:30 so I needed a fast photo and that's exactly what happened!
I am ever so thankful for the wonderful friends in my life. I was a little under the weather today and everything I touched seemed to end up flawed. I didn't think through my color scheme on my pumpkins until I had colored two and realized I didn't know what to color the third one so I snapped a photo and messaged my friend Janeenk. Right off she suggested a yellow pumpkin! Doesn't it look fabulous!!!
I am not a big fan of masking but Bev has a great challenge for the Falliday Fest event FF17TexasGrammy so I am playing along and I truly do love the effect of masking. I just don't like the tediousness of cutting out a mask but I have to say I love the result!!! I stamped the smaller pumpkins first then masked them and stamped the orange pumpkin. I adore this set from Unity Stamp co. There are so many ways to use and arrange the many images included in the set!!
I mentioned that teal pumpkins aren't just another pretty decoration but they are also a symbol for awareness of food allergies. If you place a teal pumpkin on your porch a parent knows they can ask for a non-food treat for their child on Haloween night! For a link to more info you can check out my blog.

This is so sweet! Love the idea of the teal pumpkin - first thing I was thinking was ovarian cancer - good to know other things this pretty color can represent.
I know what you mean about cameras and certain colors - mine hates yellows. Glad yours cooperated tonight.
Hope you feel better, soon!

This is as darling as darling gets! I love this tweet little bird sitting high above these gorgeous pumpkins done in wonderful colors I would never have thought to use myself. I love how you pulled the colors from your dsp into your image so beautifully, and your card design is fabulous! ~Karen.
