Thankful Pumpkins


Happy Tuesday, peeps! I spent a wee bit of time in my craft room this morning and decided to make a fall-themed card for two challenges: As You See It has a nice sketch, and Hand-Stamped Sentiments has a lovely fall mood board:




I have been saving this pumpkin paper (well, hoarding it, really) for a long time, so I decided to finally break it out:


This is a larger card, 7.25" x 4.25", because I wanted to make sure I got all those pumpkins on it!  The papers are all from Recollections, called Thankful Heart.  I stamped the "thankful" in Mossy Meadow on some of the striped paper and matted it with a scalloped mat:


The floral image is from the same papers, diecut and matted with a Pistachio Pudding scalloped mat:


And although it's hard to see, I did add some speckled stamping around the pumpkins in Basic Beige, and added some Mossy Meadow twine and a few neutral sequins.  The inside is a sentiment from Simply Stamped, and I fussy-cut another pumpkin to add to the bottom. The vine stamp is from Close to My Heart:

I think this will make a nice Thanksgiving card!  

It's Solanco Fair week, so I am off to put in a blanket that Dana crocheted as well as a small cross stitch project that I did.  I did several projects this past year....getting them framed was another story!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

You know, I think I might have a piece of that same paper hoarded too! Your pretty card has inspired me to dig it out and put it to use!

Those watercoloured papers give a lovely softness to your autumnal card Leanne - perfect for the inspo picture and great use of my sketch too! Thanks for sharing with us over at As you See It!

Oh, what a beautiful, autumnal card! I love the watercolored feel of the paper which fits our inspiration photo perfectly! The color palette is delicious too....I miss pistachio pudding. That color was among my most favorite in color groups ever!Thanks for playing along with us at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
