Happy Saturday Peeps!!!
This week our hostess is the fabulous Holly Kean and she has photo inspiration challenge for us:
This beautifully unique Thanksgiving table is far and away more fancy than ours will likely be for Thanksgiving but isn't it just gorgeous? Find some inspiration in it and create a Thanksgiving, Holiday or New Year's card or other paper project based on that inspiration. Make sure you include in your posting where your inspiration came from and how you incorporated it into your project.
I hope you all will forgive me one more punched pumpkin. I really struggled as which way to go with this inspiration, I originally thought I would make my pumpkin vase of flowers with some gold card stock, I punched and embossed some of the SU Brushed Gold card stock but when I was putting the card together the gold just looked so dull with the card I had to change it up and make a pumpkin pie one instead. I used the bird punch for all my leaves and added some small pumpkin pie flowers.
I used the sketch challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary for my card layout. The base is Early Espresso card stock and then I followed that up with some very vanilla and then another layer of Early Espresso that I embossed with the square lattice EF.
The DSP I used is from the Spice Cake paper pack. I cut three sizes and matted with some very vanilla card stock.
I added some crochet ribbon across the middle and tied a pretty bow. I then added alot of gold pearls for accents. I took inspiration from the photo in the colors, I like the blue in the photo but used a different shade and then the centerpiece in the photo is a pumpkin filled with pretty flowers, and lots of gold accents.
Be sure to check the Our Creative Corner Blog to see what the rest of the design team came up with for this fun challenge.
I hope you can find some time to play along and if you do, don't forget to link it up over on the Our Creative Corner Blog so we can all see it!
Thanks for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

fabulous, Vicki! Love the textured punched pumpkin and how cute it is with the leaves and flowers. Love the way you used the dsp and ribbon.
I'm loving all those sweet little flowers on your pumpkin vines, Vicki. But even more I love the way you matted this with the brown border being irregular... I'm an irregular type, myself. Hope you're having a great weekend.
