Happy Thursday, peeps! It's time for another Inspired By challenge--Laurel always comes up with beautiful inspiration photos! Here's my take on her challenge today: a truck full of pumpkins!
And here is her inspiration:
The vintage truck theme is wildly popular these days, but usually it's a RED truck, so I was excited to see this tan truck!! My mind immediately went to the old SU stamp called Loads of Love, but apparently, I got rid of the Accessories set, which had pumpkins in it! So I turned to another set called Countryside...it had a perfect vintage truck, but it had the word "apples" on the tailgate and the baskets inside are full of apples...SO....I need you all to put on your imagination hats and pretend that these apples are actually those little baby pumpkins...you can do it!! Check it out:
I began by stamping my truck with Stazon ink on SU's watercolor paper and using my aquapainter to color it in. I cut a little scrap piece to fit over the tailgate to hide the word apples...betcha couldn't tell that from the photo, could you? It blended very well! After watercoloring it, I diecut it with a Nested Label die, then added a sentiment from an old Impressions Obsession stamp and diecut it as well:
I mounted it on a piece of woodgrain paper, then on a Pear Pizzazz card, and stamped an image and sentiment on the inside:
I am also entering this in Happy Little Stamper's October watercolor challenge!!
I need lots of masculine birthday cards this month and I am really low, so this will go into my stash! I hope this fun photo will challenge you to make a card too--share it with us at the Inspired By blog! See you there! And thanks for popping in today!

ReplyDeleteThere it is!!! NO imagination necessary, LeAnne!! I LOVE those tiny little pumpkins, and wish I had a truck-load of them!
ReplyDeleteThere isn't one single element of this card that isn't absolute perfection!!
=]
You had the perfect stamp and that wood grain paired with it is marvelous!! Cassidy's wackadoodle hair looks cute!!
ReplyDeleteI saw pumpkins - not apples. If you hadn't said anything I never would have questioned it! And I never even suspected that the tailgate was doctored. You are quite the card-wizard!
ReplyDeleteGreat country card. I love it. I like how you've used the little banner die under the larger one too. The background patterned paper is perfect too. And, that wacky Cassidy. What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty!! I LOVE the coloring on the truck and the fun sentiment banner with the twine. GREAT design.
ReplyDeleteLooks like baby pumpkins to me! Beautiful fall country card! And that Miss C cracks me up.....love the hair!
ReplyDeleteOf course that lovely water coloured truck has baby pumpkins lol. Fabulous card LeAnne. Super layout. Thanks for sharing at HLS this month.
ReplyDeleteSo clever to adapt what you own to suit the challenge. I love the baby pumpkins. What a great masculine birthday card. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers Watercolor challenge.
