The Pick 3 Challenge #9 - Sep/Oct 2026

Hello Friends and Happy Sunday!  It's also the 20th of the month and that signals a new challenge at The Pick 3 Challenge Blog.  The premise of the challenge is to pick at least 3 elements from the elements list and create using your choices.  The element list this month is:

I've chosen Halloween, Leaves, Brown and the extra elements of Vintage and Checks for my team project.  I've used the "Halloween Pumpkin" Stamp and coordinating Die Set from Memory Box and colored the image using Copic Alcohol Markers.


After coloring and heat embossing the sentiment, both have been die cut and the edges inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  The distressed patterned paper has also been inked around the edges for a vintage, Autumn vibe.  


The pumpkin image is quite large, my card base measures 5.5" square so that gives you an idea of it's size.  To finish everything off, I've added black gems and Wink of Stella to the small leaves and acorns.  

We hope to see you at the Challenge this month, we love seeing how creative everyone gets with their chosen elements.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna
