Are you ready for the next Papertrey Ink SAF 2015 challenge? My card design is above, and can be dressed up or down, whatever you're up to. Here are a couple of cards I created with my card pattern.
I used Chicken Scratch Gingham and Bitty Star Basics paper over my Sweet Blush card base. I then cut a Loop de Loop Border from Vintage Cream cardstock.
I attached my paper-pieced Pumpkin Patch pumpkin on a die cut Tag Sale #4 and Limitless Layers: 2 1/2" Circles die. My pumpkin is stamped in Berry Sorbet and Melon Berry ink.
My second card uses Chicken Scratch Gingham once again over a white cardstock base. I stamped a border down the seam of my card using the Note Niblets stamp set and Smokey Shadow ink.
I used white cardstock and the Enclosed: Apple die and stamped the top using the leaf and berries from the Note Niblets stamp set, Limeade Ice and Pure Poppy ink. I stamped the corner of the card using these same images as well.
I then used the Apple Prints stamp set and coordinating dies, Spring Moss, Limeade Ice, and Smokey Shadow ink, and created my focal point. I stamped my sentiment on the curve of the apple using the Apple Prints stamp set as well. I used a bit of True Black Baker's Twine to embellish.
The other Papertrey Ink designers are playing along with this challenge as well and each has their own card pattern to share with you:
I love the pumpkin! Are you sure it is not made of fabric? It's either fabulous work or fabulous photography--probably both! Thank you for the inspiration! I have added this pumpkin stamp to my shopping cart!

What beauties, Melissa! I love the bold colors in your second card; that's not something I'm very used to seeing from you, so it was totally unexpected!
