A Tall Fall Card!

Tall-Fall-Card-wm
Hi everyone and happy Monday to you all.
My card today combines the two challenges I normally do every Monday, that is CCEE Stampers and The Pink Elephant Challenges. I don’t normally combine these two challenges but with the theme for both this week I just couldn’t help myself.
First up Tosh is still making the CCEE Stampers shape up this month and this week our cards had to be tall! And then I saw that our The Pink Elephant Challenge was to create a Fall card …. so of course I just had to make a Tall Fall card hehe!


This week we also have a sponsor for The Pink Elephant challenge which is the Wildflower Kids Rubber Stamps , each of the design team where given the Fall digi stamps to use on our cards. Being that they are digital you can change the size to whatever you want for your card and I was also able to arrange the pumpkins so that I could get a portion of the pumpkins on either side of the group of three pumpkins that I used at the bottom of my card.
To create the background on my orange base card I used my scorpal and the Cutter Bee Bugs piercing tool … I have linked to it so you can see what I am talking about if you haven’t seen it before. I think scorpal have a similar tool that they use.
Don’t forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog & The Pink Elephant blog (goes live 12 AM EST) to see the rest of the creations both design teams created this week. You will also find details on how you can play in these challenges.
Recipe:
Stamps: Fall Digi Stamps - Wildflower Kids Stamp Company
Paper: White; Orange, Green
Other: Scorpal, Cutter Bee Bugs Piercing Tool; Oval  Nestabilities; Wavy Dot Border Punch; Foam Tape; Copics
