I HAD SO MUCH FUN PLAYING WITH THE OLD BABY WIPE TECHNIQUE WHEN I HAD SOME DEAR FRIENDS COME FOR A FULL WEEKEND OF STAMPING....AND THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CARDS THAT I CREATED THAT WEEKEND, ACTUALLY IT WAS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT HAD OLD OLIVE IN IT SO I RECREATED IT SO I WASN'T CHEATING ON THE COLORS, AND HERE YOU HAVE IT - WITH ONLY THE COLORS IN THE CHALLENGE AND I THREW IN GOLD AS A BASIC - BECAUSE THESE COLORS WERE SCREAMING FOR GOLD ACCENT TO ME, AND HOW IS THAT FOR A RUN ON SENTENCE???? I JUST HAPPENED TO HOLD MY GOLD PUMPKIN DIE OVER SOME OF THE BABY WIPE DESIGN I HAD CREATED FOR THE TOP OF THE CARD AND I WAS LIKE WHOA!! THAT'S PRETTY!! SO I TRIMMED AROUND THE PUMPKIN AND I REALLY LIKE THE WAY IT TURNED OUT! WHEN I MAKE A CARD I HATE, I REALLY HATE IT, AND WHEN I MAKE ONE I LOVE, I REALLY LOVE IT, AND I REALLY LOVE THIS ONE!! THANKS FOR GIVING US GORGEOUS COLORS THIS WEEK PAM!!! HAPPY TUESDAY EVERYONE!!

Karen, this is gorgeous! The inked background looks amazing as does the vanilla embossed panel. Love all the gold too - you're right, gold is perfect with these colors!
