Card Clubhouse IG Hop - Week 18

Hello lovely friends; I'm here to share my card for the Card Clubhouse IG hop organised by my sweet friend Kelly. We are on Week 18 and we have a lovely mood board to inspire you this week. There is something for everyone on this board; black cats, squirrels, pumpkins, leaves so I'm sure this is going to be a great hop this week and I can't wait to see what sparks your imagination.

Here is the beautiful mood board:

Isn't it fun with such gorgeous images.  My eye was immediately drawn to the colourful rainbow of pumpkins/gourds and I decided to make my version of that image.  I drew their faces with a marker which adds to the whimsy I think and did some soft ink blending in the background.  No stamps were harmed in the making of this card lol!  I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at my 'dodgy' faces:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and used it in landscape orientation (which I don't do very often) so that I could fit all of my pumpkins/gourds in a row.  I die cut them from coloured card from my scraps bin and used a memento black marker to draw their faces.  I also die cut the leaves from a pale beige card and ink blended them with kraft, red and green inks for an autumnal look.  I cut a strip of the beige card and gave it a woodgrain effect using the kraft ink pad.  I ink blended the centre of the panel using jelly bean green, sea glass and sandy beach ink pads and also added some water drops and white spatter.  I added the 'wood' strip at the bottom with liquid glue and added the rainbow pumpkins/gourds with foam squares.  I added the most of the leaves at the top of the panel with liquid glue, apart from two, which were adhered with foam squares.  I used a pre-printed sentiment and die cut it with a sentiment strips die and added some scrap black card behind for dimension before adding to the bottom of the panel with liquid glue.  I finished off with a few gold sequins.  I added some scrap white card behind my panel for stability and a little dimension and adhered it to my card base using double sided tape.  For the inside I cut another white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and added another 'woodgrain' strip to the bottom with liquid glue.  I die cut three more pumpkins/gourds and added them in the bottom right corner and also added two leaves in the top right corner, all with liquid glue.  I used another pre-printed sentiment, again die cut with a sentiment strips die, and added that on the 'wood' strip using liquid glue.  The panel was then adhered to my card base using liquid glue.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
