The challenge for today at 365 Cards is a DIY challenge to create your own patterned paper. This a challenge that's been done before, but this time it's got a twist-- it has to be harvest-themed.
Here's my card:
Since I was using a digi-stamp, it was pretty easy to create the background paper. And since I wasn't about to hand-color a bazillion little pumpkins, I went ahead and colored the image in Photoshop before duplicating it. I rotated the image several times and then just sort of placed them where they fit. I didn't want the pumpkins in the background to "pop" quite as much as the front image, so I adjusted the transparency just a smidge. To finish it off, lots of distressing ink!
It's been a very, very long day, so I'm off to bed! If you haven't already, go check out the challenges for this week, sponsored by The Character Cafe :-)

Great idea, using the image to also make the background paper!
