Yesterday was the Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Midweek Throwdown challenge and the challenge is: a fall themed any occasion card.
My image today I was lucky enough to win from Shelly's Images and she was very generous with me, I was torn between two images and she sent me both. What a sweetie! I just love the detail in this image of the pumpkins, the opportunities for shading and the shapes of the pumpkins themselves as well as the leaves. It seems like orange has become one of my favorite colors.
I was also following the OWH sketch #29 for this card. After I made it I noticed that I didn't follow it exactly, I did flip it on it's side but the long strip wasn't supposed to go all the way to the edge of the card. I find it interesting that my mind just doesn't "see" that, this is the second card I made with this sketch and did the same thing. I do still have a chance to get it right though!
what a wonderful fall card. I love your shading on the pumpkins.
