Power and Spark for October

This weekend was World Card making Day and I was busy making cards.  Not surprised you say?  Well, I was not either.  I actually made three cards from the backgrounds that I did with Distressed Oxides and I love this new technique.  Here is where I found it. You could go on for ever adding to it.  The Challenge for this month at Power and Spark is to make a card using your birthday month to inspire you.  My birthday is in August.  No holidays and summer is really over here in Wisconsin.  We have the beautiful fall weather and the trees are starting to turn colors.  So I have decided to use my Grandson Jack's Birthday.  He will be fourteen this Wednesday,  October 10th.  So much more fun to do a fall card
Here is my inspiration for October.
I used part of the background that I did on the left and then cut several borders of scallops for that panel  Placed it all on a cranberry card base and then colored the apples from the Apple of my Eye stamp set from Power Poppy.  Note that I did not use all of the image, as I didn't want to cover up that pretty background.  Then I fussy cut the apples out and placed them on the front.  The splatters and the scallop are gold and do not show up in this photo.  There is Wink of Stella on the apples. 

 
I will be entering this card in this challege for this month.   There is lots of time as this challenge goes for a month.  Hope to see you there. 
Thanks for the comments that you care to leave.  I love them all.
