PTI blog hop: fabric pumpkins.



From this:


to this:


Would you believe in all of my stamp collection, this was the only pumpkin image I could find?  I guess I really don't make fall & halloween-type cards very often... *shaking head*

Apart from the chocolate brown card base and the chartreuse felt, everything else started out as a piece of white cardstock.  I also pulled a bit of blue from the inspiration photo background - the bobbin thread I chose for my zig zag stitch is light blue...


thanks for looking!


stamps: polka dot basics II, background basics: retro, woodgrain, tag its #7, vintage wallpaper (marketstreet), tiny tags (SU)
ink: memento brown + black, tangerine tango, lucky limeade (SU)
dies/punches: tiny tags punch (SU), half&half die, 1 3/4 in circle die collection (PTI)

    What a great card. I love you have created so many different background papers, and those pumpkins are so cute. I have that mini SU punch, and I forgot why I bought it! Looks great with the pin and the tiny sentiment. Also, love the felt.

    Super fun! I tried so hard to do a background of patterned blocks like this but couldn't make it work. Yours is fabulous! I love the added stitching and felt.
