Here is one of the cards we made about a week ago for my stamp club. The pumpkins and squash were stamped on cajun craze, more mustard and old olive (respectively) card stock and then bleached a little bit with a Q-Tip. Then we used our aqua painter and reinkers to add more colors.  Give it a try at home!

I am sooooo in love with the Autumn Spice DS paper Stampin' UP! has in the Holiday Mini catalog.  I love fall colors, and every color in this delicious pack of paper is awesome!!!!!   Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Old Olive and More Mustard are beautiful together! This paper has texture and is nice and thick.  I have to get me another pack of this yummy stuff!  This is considered a "quilt card".  And as you may have seen on a previous post of mine using Apple Blossoms, I made the flower using my 2 3/8 inch scallop circle punch.

Here's another Halloween card.  I used sponge daubers (love them) to color the background.  The moon is just a punched out circle that is placed on top of the card stock.  Easy card to make.  I like how the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch turned out.  I just cut it in half. Enjoy, and have a great fall day!  Annette Recipe: Stamps: Wicked Cool, Woodgrain and Season of Friendship; Ink:   Basic Black, Basic Grey, Rich Razzleberry, Cajun Craze and Old Olive; Paper:   Basic Black, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Wicked Fun DS paper; Accessories: Dotted Scallop Ribbon punch, Modern Label punch, Modern Label punch window die, Pumpkin Pie brads and sponge daubers.
