Speedy TV's Inspiration Challenge 31 and CCEE Challenge 1340

Hi and welcome to SpeedyTV's Inspiration Challenge 31!  This week, Shirley has another really fun selection of inspiration pictures for you - check these out - Popcorn!!

 

 

 

 

Aren't these adorable?!  I haven't had a popcorn ball since I was a kid.  I chose the last picture of the pumpkin with the hat for my inspiration.  Remember, you don't have to create a card based on the picture itself, but, rather just the inspiration you gather from looking at the picture, colors, etc.!

 

And, this cute, cute stamp below is the prize for this week's winner.  So, be sure and join us for this fun challenge. 

 

Card Recipe:

 

Stamp:  MFP's Autumn Splendor

Paper:  MFP White Heavy Premium 140 lb. CS; MFP Black CS; SU Taken With Teak CS and Pumpkin CS

Ink:  YG93 and 91;p YR15, 14, 12 and Y00; E15 and 13

Accessories:  SB Lacey Ovals - SB Matting Basic A Die; Pop Dots

And, this card is also for the CCEE1340 challenge given by Anne Harmon (who is the hostess for October).  Anne says October's birthstone is the opal (which is oval) - so we are to use an oval shape on our cards.  Be sure and join us and make sure you reference CCEE1340 is you are linking in from a gallery!
