Tuesday with Tara {take 371) Hey Pumpkin
I’m delighted to share a new card with MFT’s Autumn Blessings stamp & die sets. I started reaching for one of my newer sets, but for the card design I had in mind this one was perfect, since it includes three different pumpkins! You see, I made this card for a very special baby shower that took place last weekend and we are so excited to be looking forward to the arrival of our third grand baby! The two larger pumpkins represent our 3 year old grand son and 5 week old grand daughter, together they are our perfect little pumpkin patch 🙂
So I kept things pretty simple, stamping in black and coloring with watercolor pencils (I can’t wait to get my hands on the new Distress ones, even though I have a very large collection already!). I chose shades of teal and coral for my card and layered the pumpkins onto patterned paper with text print in dark green. Since I embossed the sentiment in white, I chose to also add some subtle embossing of leaves from the set on the printed panel for a bit more texture.
I also finished off the pumpkins with a touch of glitter and popped up the middle pumpkin with some foam squares. Here’s another look at my finished card- this one is totally different lighting as it was taken inside, ready to go tucked into the gift basket.
Hope you like it! This is a fantastic stamp set I know I’ll keep pulling out for years to come! As a bonus too, the coordinating dies are on sale right now! If there was ever a sign to get the dies too… this is it! 🙂
Inky hugs,
Tara
