fresh & fun

For this BIC challenge, I just picked the colors.

The card base is a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock folded in half.

The front was stamped with the Paisley background and Pumpkin Pie.

The sentiment was stamped in Brown Palette ink on Shimmery White cardstock. The flower from Heartfelt Thanks was inked with Pumpkin Pie, Ruby Red and Old Olive Markers, stamped off once, sprayed with my water misting bottle and then stamped three more times over the sentiment.

Oval Nestabilities were used to cut it into an oval and to create the chocolate scallop oval underneath.

The Chocolate Chip layer measures 3 5/8″ x 4 3/4″, the Ruby Red and Kraft cardstock were 1/4″ smaller to the previous layer. The patterned paper is from the Summer Picnic Designer Paper pack. Pumpkin Pie Striped grosgrain was tied around the Kraft layer.

I punched three 1/4″ Chocolate Chip circles out and adhered them under the ribbon knot. Ruby Red brad topped the circles off.
