Double Duel with the Darlings

I'm running as fast as I can trying to catch up with my Dueling Darling teammates.  Last month I was still in the Pacific Northwest and did not have the kit for September in my hands so I'm doing double dueling duty today for both September and October. 


I'll start with my September card.  The theme "Recipe Cards" for September was chosen by team Barb for the Divas (my team) and Debbie for the Dazzlers.  Love that theme!  And Barb sent team this awesome kit:
         3 images - stamped on Gina K Ivory:
                     Knife, Fork, Spoon - Stampabilities - Silverware
                     What's Cooking? - Inky Antics
                     Now You're Really Cook'n - Unknown
         Patterned Paper:
                     Jillibean Soup ---Fresh Vegetable Soup
                           Baby Carrots - Vegetables/Green Pattern
                           Chicken Base - Silverware/Yellow Pattern
                     Basic Grey ----Herbs & Honey
                            Tomato--Brown Vegetables/Brown Dots
                            Peas - Green Vegetables/Flowers
         Embellishments:
                     Spare Parts - wooden fork and spoon
                     Spare Parts - Vintage Mixer
                     Various Companies - ribbon and fibers
                     Various Companies - brads and buttons
The green and rust cardstock for the base and trim are from Stampin' Up.

This is one of my favorite soup recipes and it really is easy and so delicious.  When I saw this designer paper in the kit I just knew I had to pair it with this recipe.  It strung many of the buttons from the kit on this orange and white twine to add a fun embellishment to the card.  Hope you try the recipe and let me know what you think.

 For our October duel our LauraJean for the Divas and Terry for the Dazzlers chose the theme "Eat, Drink and Be Scary!"  How fun is that?!!  LJ, sent this terrific kit full of delightful papers, images and embellishments.

 I colored this cutie MFT witch and the pumpkins with Copic markers and mounted with dimensionals.  The base of my card is Stampin' Up Elegant Eggplant cardstock and black cardstock for the scalloped panel.  All other elements are from the kit.
I used this sketch from Mojo Monday for the layout:
