This hop is an inspiration hop based on this beautiful photo provided to us by Joy.
I love the colors and textures of fall, so that is what I took from this photo as my inspiration. I had to use some of the new papers, inks and stamps from the latest Stamp TV kit. (Sorry my photo isn't better. I had to take this one outside instead of in my studio and the lighting wasn't great).
I chose the pumpkin from the gorgeous Harvest of Wishes stamp set and the sentiment from one of the free incentive sets from Gina K Designs called Friendship Family Love. I also used one of the leaves from the Grateful Heart set to create a subtle background. The card stock is Gina K Designs Pure Luxury Kraft, the new Faded Brick (love this new color!) and Ivory. I used a strip of patterned paper from the Grateful Heart pack. Ink used on this was the gorgeous new Faded Brick from GKD, and Memento Tuxedo Black and Espresso Truffle. The ribbon and brads are from the Stamp TV kit also. I colored the pumpkin with my Kohinoor colored pencils and gamsol. I haven't used colored pencils and gamsol in ages because Copics have become my go-to coloring tools. I forgot how much I like the look of the pencils. They are very soft looking and somehow just seemed appropriate for this pumpkin.
Hope you were inspired by our inspiration photo and my card! Next along the hop is Linda who will have something beautiful to inspire you!

Lovely card! I love how you have accented the sentiment and used the barn siding to accent the image!
Kay this is fabulous! I love your layers and the sentiment is perfect. Hope all is well there! Hugs.
What a beautiful card. I love these new colors, too. Just received Faded Brick ink pad, and can't wait to use it. This example really inspires me. Great card.
very nice the coloring behind the pumpkin mimics the feathers.
I love your card. It is just gorgeous. I love the papers that you chose. They are perfect with the pumpkin.

Beautiful, the colors are stunning! Great job!
Awesome card. The colors are luscious. The pencil coloring I beautiful. My pencils have gotten neglected in favor of Copics. You've inspired me to use them again.
I agree - my colored pencils have been neglected, and they make such a lovely blend with the gambol.

Gorgeous coloring job! I loved the blending of the sentiment strip and around the pumpkin giving the card a "soft" appearance.
Like the wood grain behind the focal image.
