The Inspiration Station Challenge - Photo Prompt #78 - October 2025

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Monday!  I hope your weekend went well and you enjoyed doing something you love.  Me?  I made cards, finished a few Crochet projects and watched Western Movies (I love John Wayne and Clint Eastwood).

Today begins a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog, where you take your inspiration from a photo prompt and tell us how the photo inspired your design.  This months' prompt is:

What a wonderful Cornucopia of Autumn fruits and veggies, and I had to dig deep into the stash to find something I was happy to use for my DT project; I was directly inspired by the fresh fruit and veg.  

I came across the Pears and Pomegranates Stamp, Die and Washi Tape Sets from Pink Fresh Studio.  For my card, I've used the Washi Tape and Coordinating Dies to create the pretty fruit die cuts.

I've cut 2 panels, one in gold mirror card and the other in a rust color that matched the pomegranates.  The gold panel was cut using the Hemstitch Rectangle Die from Spellbinders, the rust panel was embossed with the Tile Reflection 3-D Embossing folder from Spellbinders.

The sentiment, from the Pears and Pomegranates Stamp set, was stamped and heat embossed using Copper Fine embossing power, cut with the coordinating die and popped on foam pads.  The washi tape die cuts were arranged and some were lifted on foam pads for extra dimension.  Lastly, iridescent sequins from the stash were added as a finishing touch.

The team and I hope you'll join us this month and share your inspired projects.  We love seeing all the creativity and inspiration.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
