Getting Punchy

O hushed October morning mild,

Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;

Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild,

Should waste them all.

The crows above the forest call;

Tomorrow they may form and go.

O hushed October morning mild,

Begin the hours of this day slow.

Make the day seem to us less brief.

Robert Frost

I am so excited that it's finally Fall. Yahoo! It is my favorite time of year. Happy October - where the days begin to cool and more time is spent indoors with family. All I can think of is cinnamon apples, pumpkin biscotti, gorgeous boots, pretty scarves, hot pots of tea and decorating for the holidays. More reading, too, curled up on the sofa with kitties. Speaking of cats, our newest member of the family is adjusting well. 

 

Sleeping in his cardboard scratching cube

Yesterday he fell asleep draped across my foot as I worked on this 'Boo' card. Treasured Times has a new Challenge starting October 3. The guidelines for this month's challenge are:

•   use the color gold or mustard
•   use a punch
•   twist= use a spray ink or mist

I used Treasured Times Boo Witch Clear Stamp #515-S and Distress Inks. To fulfill the Challenge I used harlequin patterned card stock behind the witch which is mustard and orange. I also used three different punches on this greeting card. Can you spot where I used a corner punch, bat punch and house punch?  I did the twist! I used Perfect Pearls mist on the spiderweb and it glistens in the light. The spiders, jack-o-lantern and red star are adhered with foam to give them dimension.

Join us at Treasured Times: Make a card for autumn, use the Challenge guidelines, then upload your entry here. 

Hearts not averse to being beguiled,

Beguile us in the way you know.

Release one leaf at break of day;

At noon release another leaf.

I am entering this card in the 2 Creative Chicks Halloween Challenge, which ends October 31!
