Oh I do love me a good pumpkin stamp! So when I saw the Hello Harvest stamp set in the upcoming July - December 2022 Min Catalog, I was hooked! The traditional shape of a pumpkin is so appealing to me, and I love autumn colors.
So I'm not quite sure where this card came from:
I didn't use the stamps for the pumpkin. I used the coordinating Rustic Pumpkin dies. And I didn't choose the "traditional" pumpkin shape; I chose a stylized pumpkin shape. And although there are some autumn colors on the card, the base is black and white.
But I love it!
The Rustic Harvest designer series paper is really pretty! Plaids, squiggles, diagonal stripes, dots, pumpkins, leaves and flowers - they are all there! And many with a black background, which I normally would not equate to Fall, but somehow it truly works!
I love the pumpkin. Cut with two pieces of Basic White cardstock and the dies, it has some neat embossed detail, as does the pumpkin stem. (Stem?). I lightly sponged it with a Blending Brush and some Crumb Cake ink to diminish all the white.
The leaves were stamped in traditional harvest colors - Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler, and cut with the Rustic Pumpkin dies.
I just finished it off with a few Matte Black Dots.
What do you think? Does it have the "autumn vibe"?
