Color Hues Color Challenge ~ Second Helping

Happy fall friends!  It's the first day of fall and I'm ringing it in with a second card I made using the colors from Color Hues Color Challenge.  
 
I originally made two cards because I ended up loving the color palette so much and I didn't know which card I liked better.
 
 I had pulled out this Into The Blooms:  Pumpkin Dies from Papertrey ink for a second round of inspiration for the challenge.
 
I used stamps from Tim Holtz Specimen stamp set to lightly stamp on the leaves and added white splattered paint to the finished card, tied off with a small tag and string bow.

I'll be entering this card into the following challenges:
Color Hues Color Challenge ~ Smokey Blue and Sage Green
 
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by!

Your big blue pumpkin is just fabulous, Birgit! I'm also loving the pretty background paper you used. Another marvelous make, my friend!

Well I like your 2nd one just as much as the first Birgit! That blue pumpkin is awesome and you obviously know how much splattering is just enough...I tend to go a bit overboard!! I love the light stamping on the leaves too, and it's all framed so beautifully too! So glad you shared a 2nd card with us at Color Hues my friend!! Hugs. :0)

Birgit, this is such a fun autumn card! I love how you used light blue for the pumpkin. It’s so unexpected but totally works. I love all the little details, especially the little splatters of ink. It really gives it a wonderful look. Thank you so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday! We love seeing what you’ve made!
