The Card Concept #210 Pumpkin Season (Oct '24)

 Hello there Crafty Friends! It's time for another challenge at The Card concept The theme this month is Pumpkin Season.

I've used old stamp sets from Winnie & Walter to create my card.
As you can see, I was inspired by the door, steps and pumpkins in the photo and the colours to make my Clean & Layered card
Stamps: W&W This Awesome House, Moonlight
Hello Bluebird Country Gingham Background

Remember, an inspiration photo is exactly that- a starting point for inspiration. Will it be the colours, the overall theme, the texture, the actual items and/or something else that will inspire your card? 


I hope you'll visit The Card Concept Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the team has created and will be inspired to play along in the challenge with us. 

Choose a design style (or combine styles), create a card, and in your blog post, let us know what inspired you from the photo, what style and/or styles you chose and don't forget to display our inspiration photo and link back to our challenge.
