Happy Tuesday, peeps! It's raining AGAIN here in PA...I feel like a little mushroom, never seeing the sun! Hopefully October will bring some bright blue weather! Anyway, it's time for another RetroRubber Challenge, and I chose to make a not-too-spooky fall creation:
And before I get to the details, here is our sketch:
My pumpkin is from a Close to My Heart set called Autumn Wishes, and it is from 2016; I stamped it three times in various shades of orange: Grapefruit Grove, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze, then fussy-cut each outer panel and adhered them to the original one:
I got some new Halloween papers from Authentique called Nightfall, and this patterned one seem to be a good background that complemented my "crazy-quilt" pumpkin! I added some stitched ribbon that's been sitting in my stash forever, a black and crumb cake scalloped border and a sentiment from My Creative Time that I have had for a long time....maybe eight years? Finally, I added a couple of black cats from an Impression Obsession die set that I am embarrassed to admit that I have also had for a while and I don't think I have ever used it! But they're cute here, don't you think? Cute but not scary!
I didn't put a sentiment on the inside, because I think you could use this for a couple of occasions! SO...what will you create with our sketch this week? Remember, the stamps have to be at least one year old and you must tell us the age! Can't wait to see what you create!
Cassidy spent the weekend at Daddy's and they made cupcakes! She knows she could leave them at my house and they would be safe, because I just cannot eat anything BLUE!!! (Not so sure about Grampy!) But she was quite proud of them and she said she did all the mixing by herself! You gotta give her credit for that!

Oh LeAnne, I love your gorgeous quilted Pumpkin, what a great idea to stamp it in different colors and fussy cut (perfectly by the way) each section to construct it back, brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteYour little kitties are darling, I'm glad you finally got a chance to use this fabulous die.
Awesome card, teammate.

Very pretty Autumn card, LeAnne! Adding the kitties was such a wonderful touch!
ReplyDeletePretty fall card. Love your patchwork pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteCassidy's cupcakes look delicious. I know she was proud of them.Thanks for sharing.
Cats, AND cuteness!? Just about the sweetest patchwork anything I've seen to date! One would never know this was fussy cut, LeAnne … xx

I love, love, love your crazy patchwork pumpkin, LeAnne. It looks like just the thing for Cinderella's coach. The blue cupcakes make me smile as does your inability to eat blue. My children's all time favourite bedtime story book was called 'Droo' and was about an old lady who found a creature at the beach and took him home with her only to discover that it ONLY ate things that were coloured blue!
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful patchwork pumpkin really caught my eye. Believe it or not, we just celebrated our 41st anniversary and those were the colors that the girls wore.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little pumpkin! I like the little cats purring about on your card too, this is pretty LeAnne! Hmm, not sure if I could do the blue either, but the baker sure is cute!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, your wonderful fall card made me SO happy, I love everything about it. The details are wonderful, the two little cats are a great touch and I love that border. I had to show this to my Mum, because I knew she would love your patchwork pumpkin, so clever. I can eat blue things, I'd devour those cupcakes... Cx
ReplyDeleteLove that big patterned pumpkin and the scalloped die cut! Great for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteLove your patchwork pumpkin LeAnne. Great bg paper and how cute those black cats are especially the one sitting on your sentiment. Great take on the sketch.
