Stampin' Up! Gather Together Birthday

 Happy Throwback Thursday, peeps. I made this card today...

 

and this one 2 years ago...

 

I think I like today's better so I'm entering it in the Double Trouble Challenge #202 3-2-1 Shades of Fall. Here's a little bit about that challenge...

 

 and more specifically...

Shades of Fall

Servings -  Unlimited portions of fun.

Ingredients

AT LEAST

3 Colors in shades of fall

I have chosen Cajun Craze, Timid Tiger, Calypso Coral, and Old Olive along with dabs of Daffodil Delight and Pecan Pie for my colors.

2 Images

The two images are the pumpkins and leaves, along with the splatters on the side AND the sentiment.

1 Stenciled or dry-embossed element

I embossed the pattern with a retired SU EF and used the debossed side.

For the optional twist, Twisted Sister Thing 3 has asked to include any seasonal fruit or vegetable in the design. I know she loves pumpkins so that was my choice. I had gourd patterned paper someplace but unfortunately, I was out of my gourd (slang from the 60's for you youngsters meaning delusional). In reality, I have no idea where that paper is and I'm not about to go looking for it in the 3' high stack of patterned paper!

As for Thing 2 Double Dare's optional dare, she has offered up the sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #681. I took liberties with the sketch ... 

BUT, I also used her other offering... to play along at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge #112. This challenge requires pumpkins and or leaves. I might be an over achiever on the Double Trouble Challenge!
