My initial choice was to go across the top row, but in the end, my card also fit left to right diagonal as well as the center column.
I couldn't decide which way to go but then I challenged myself to use some patterned paper. I don't have a lot (I purged most of it years ago) but have since acquired some through card kits or very selective purchasing.
The background is a piece of that pp that was included in a card kit about 3-4 years ago. This piece a pretty vintage style collage and even after trimming it down I was able to capture a sunflower and pumpkin for the background. For the "table" I found a piece of brown from another paper pack and embossed it with a woodgrain folder, although you really can't tell in the pictures.
Next, I went to my Fall dies and found the pumpkin already ink blended and assembled. The same thing happened when I was searching through my Autumn themed stamp sets. The stamp set I pulled out had the leaves colored and die cut, and the sentiment already stamped, so I just used the coordinating die for it. I used a rounded corner punch for the base and pp, then assembled all the elements, including the three enamel dots. And I was really happy with how this turned out!
Claire's TTT board has many opportunities for a variety of cards. I hope you'll find a column or row that suits your fancy and play along! The challenge will remain open until 3pm EDT, Friday October 4th.
Thanks for visiting and take care!
