Happy Sunday, Friends! The Paper Players are challenging you again! Anne Marie is hosting this week with a super fun Color Challenge. She chose Pumpkin Pie, Pale Papaya , Early Espresso and any other color. I decided to go with Bermuda Bay.
A New Stampin’ Story
Today’s card has some interesting inspiration that I want to share. When I saw Anne Marie’s color choices I thought my Pretty Pumpkins Bundle would be perfect. I thought about my 4th color and Evening Evergreen came to mind. I went into the kitchen for some tea. A nice cup of ginger tea is always good in my craft room. I noticed my Fall dish towel hanging on the front of the stove.
As much as Evening Evergreen would have worked, I decided on Bermuda Bay. Inspiration can be anywhere!!
Another Change
The rest of the card came together quickly. I did make a change mid way through while putting the card together. I inked up the edges of the layers with Early Espresso ink and scrapped that idea fast. As much as I love inky cards with curled edges and a vintage vibe, I suppose I’m a clean card maker at heart.
My secret stash of Candy Dots from way back always serve me well. One Candy Dot helped balance the color and added that extra somthing I wanted for this card.
So, take a look around, see what your 4th color might be and create something fun and fabulous to link up with us over at the Paper Players. We always enjoy seeing your creations.
…the only limitation is your imagination!

Retired candy dots for the win this week! I still have so many left and try to use them whenever I can! Love that you used the Bermuda Bay as your 4th; it’s so fresh and fun with the other colors. I’m regretting not getting these pumpkins after seeing so many lovely cards with them. Hope you have an awesome week!
So fun…love the touch of blue and patterns on the pumkins!
Wow, Debbie! While Evening Evergreen would have been lovely, Bermuda Bay is STUNNING! I absolutely love this card…and your fall towel, too! Have a wonderful week!
I love it when we get inspiration from things around us, and that sweet dish towel would have inspired me too! GREAT job!
Love where your inspiration came from! Great dish towel and card! You see so many pumpkins in the stores with that type of pattern and texture, you are really embracing design right now! Super job, Debbie.
Debbie, this is so creative! I love how you got inspiration from the towel. The Bermuda Bay is gorgeous with these colors! WOW! Your pumpkins are so pretty, too!
Deb, I love that you shared your inspiration with us – how serendipitous was that trip to the kitchen for a cuppa. The texture on that main pumpkin is gorgeous and the touch of green/turquoise adds a pop of brightness to the color scheme. Fabulous card

I love the addition of Bermuda Bay Debbie – how fortunate the tea towel led you in a different direction, I think it looks fabulous and more dramatic and impactful than green would have been. I love that leafy pumpkin stamp too! Just beautiful!
Love this, Debbie! Bermuda Bay is an unexpectedly stunning addition to the challenge colors. Wow! That candy dot really IS the perfect finishing touch, too. I have a few of those and need to remember to use them. I’m also loving that adorable kitchen towel. So cute!
