Pumpkin season (it's not just for lattes)


 Here's another fall card for you, this one featuring a mass of fussy-cut pumpkins. In my ongoing crafty cleanup I've uncovered supplies I've had for ages, including this excellent plaid patterned paper and a variety of pumpkin stamps.  I used pumpkins from three different sets to create this scene, by stamping, coloring, fussy-cutting and arranging the gourds on a strip of brown. I'd used the scallop border die before, but I've never used the insert that cuts the holes in the scallops until making this card.  The green acrylic dots also have some age on them. The sentiment is heat embossed in a weird embossing powder that dries in a textured and not shiny manner (kind of like the Distress EP that I don't think lasted on the market too long.)

This card is entered in these challenges:

Double D -- Fall plaid

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday -- Stamp it. 

Inspiration Station #56 -- Gourds (inspired by the variety of colors in the inspiration photo)

 

Double Trouble #147 -- All three twists (green/yellow/orange; gourds; entering partner's challenge)

Word Art Wednesday #611 -- anything goes

Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2336 -- anything goes

Red and gold Christmas
