Pumpkin Pie
Baja Breeze
Wild Wasabi
Cajun Craze
Loved the mix of fall colours Riley used this week with the pop of blue thrown in. 
I combined this week's Color Dare with Card Positioning Systems' sketch 193.
I combined this week's Color Dare with Card Positioning Systems' sketch 193.
The pumpkin image is Verve's Bountiful Harvest and I coloured them with Twinkling H2O's and added some black half pearls to the end of each vine for a little something. I think my ribbon may be closer to Bordering Blue than Baja Breeze, but it still looks good with the other colours so it must be a fairly close match - or so my story goes and I'm sticking to it :)
If you look at the bottom left corner you will see white stuff on the ground. Yup, we got 5 inches of snow last Friday night and with the cold temps sticking around (-8C today with the wind chill -- that's 16F) it's still here. Bummer is, Saturday was quite warm so the sledding hill at the school is now grass but the there is plenty on the ground elsewhere for the kids to play in. They say we are in for a pretty bad winter this year, and we sure started off with a bang by having snow so early. Will have to see what the rest of winter brings. Thankfully, mommy is on the ball as we have snow boots and snow suits all ready to be used :) Just a bit slow on mounting the snow tires, but they go on next week once my craft fair is over and I can join the life of the living again LOL!

Marisa this is fabulous!!! You totally rock colour challenges!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are the cutest pumpkins, especially with the tiny black gems on the vines! What a great use of these colors!
ReplyDeletelove how all the colours work on this :) And I always think it's okay to substitute colours a tad bit...it's about the creativity first! We are still in freeze-down here (I write this as my car is warming up!). It says it should warm up by the weekend :) Hopefully blogger has corrected itself and good thing I've preposted some important posts already (pti blog hop tomorrow and Jake's birthday on Sunday :) Stay warm!
