Happy Saturday, all! I have a fun card for you featuring the colors from Color Throwdown, which I never seem to get to play with! So I made an effort, and although these were a wee bit out of my comfort zone I kinda like how it turned out! First, here are the colors (great photo inspiration, isn't it?):
And here we go:
I stamped the Purple Onion pumpkins on Thick White cardstock in Cajun Craze ink and used Dark & Light Cajun Craze Blends to color them in....my blending skills are not as good as I'd like, unfortunately! I colored the stems with Crumb Cake, then very carefully cut them out and adhered them to a Misty Moonlight card base. I sponged Misty Moonlight ink around the edges so that the jacks were highlighted a bit:
Then I added some Tim Holtz stickers for my sentiment. I colored in the little star on the middle punkin stem with a Gold Wink of Stella pen, so I added a few more "stars" around the sentiment; hopefully you can see them; they look really cool IRL!:
Finally, a sentiment for the inside, stamped in Night of Navy:
Thanks for popping in today!
And speaking of pumpkins, our neighbor has a wonderful garden and after his family picks as many pumpkins as they want, he lets us come and get some too!
I recently saw that a teacher grew a pumpkin that weighed 2650 pounds! This one doesn't weigh that much but it was plenty heavy! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteI also love seeing all those pumpkins - isn't it funny that Tom said, 'isn't that LeAnne's porch?' I can hardly believe it's been a year already!

EEEEP! Those jack-o-lanterns are the bomb! Such a cute and fun card! I cannot imagine a pumpkin weighing 2650 pounds but WOW! That's impressive!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love! You nailed those colors on this adorable pumpkin card, LeAnne! And the pumpkins on your porch look amazing, too! I saw that 2650 pound pumpkin on the news the other day! I don't think I've ever seen one that gigantic! TFS and enjoy this gorgeous day! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Purple Onion pumpkins are so darn cute. The real pumpkins look pretty good too! Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteYour stamped pumpkins are so full of personality and look perfect against the dark background! You have an awesome collection of pumpkins there!
ReplyDeleteOh so cute jack-o-lanterns. Love their smiles, bringa a smile to my face too.
ReplyDeleteFun for Halloween! Love the rich blue behind the pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteThose pumpkins made me laugh out loud! Hysterical! I thought you were gonna say you masked the pumpkins & brayered the blue background. Egads! Cutting out the pumpkins was a much smarter & easier way to go & they look perfect! GREAT card! Happy Fall from Florida!
