Here's some inspiration.  

This color combination would make gorgeous Fall projects, but don't limit yourself.  How about using these colors for a Halloween-themed card or a masculine birthday card?  So many possibilities!  Let's see what our IPC DT came up with:

Crystal Minkler was inspired to use the challenge colors for a bookmark! She uses the Bookmark II die for her base and adds gray argyle paper from the Black & White Basics paper pad. She adds a stack of books (Bookmark II die set) in the colors of the challenge with a mug of something hot and wonderful at the top. That little cup and sentiment are from the Never Enough Books stamp and coordinating die set

Danni Bindel was inspired to create a coffee-themed card. When uses the Framework die set to create her cream postage-edge base. She then adds an olile green heart with the scallop-edged heart atop it using the Heart Frames die set.  She stamps the coffee mug image from the Heartfelt Coffee stamp set on her cream heart and colored each mug so cutely.  

Debbie Owens and Crystal must have been channeling the same energy because Deb, too, created a darling bookmarks. She chose to use the Bookmark die set and decorated it using images from the Autumn Reads stamp set. Such a delightful autumn bookmark just perfect for snuggling up with a good book!

Amy Tollner designs a fun Halloween scene!  She uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set to create her cardbase. She then distresses her background using the Spooky Sky die set. Her spooky Newton from the Batty Newton stamp and coordinating die set is flying towards his haunted mansion made using the Haunted House die. For her gray grass, Amy uses the Land Borders die set. The overall scene is absolutely amazing!

Claire Lamb makes this spooky card by distressing a "creepy" background and adds little ghostly critters from the Ghostly Good Time stamp and coordinating die set. A spook-tacular use of the challenge colors!
