Our Inspired By #94 photo inspiration is perfect for the season, right? It was the perfect reason for me to bring out a set I bought last year, after the season had passed! I've done a bit of masking, and Copic coloring - choosing a few of the colors from those pumpkins above, see if you can spot them!
Of course I had to find a way to incorporate a bit of plaid - and that old favorite embossing folder from Darice. The stamp set is from Stamplorations, Thankful & Blessed from Dee's Artsy Impressions.
I'm betting you have a pumpkin, or two, to play along? stamping a pumpkin = much less messy than carving a pumpkin! See you in the IB94 gallery!

I love these fun pumpkins! I also love your addition of succulents. My sister in law actually just gave me a little decorative pumpkin with succulents which I thought was so clever. You two are on the same page!
ReplyDeleteYou even managed to get the plaid in. You are amazing woman! Love the card and that embossing folder -- so crisp.
ReplyDeleteLovely! An autumn card with color and texture to really enjoy.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning Michele!! I love the colours you used and the dry embossed BG is so clear and perfect for your gorgeous pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteOooh, love your pumpkins as well as that amazingly embossed background! Your coloring is divine!
ReplyDeleteOh my. This is absolutely gorgeous, Michele. I love the way the plaid strip grounds the pumpkin. The background color and that fabulous embossing are so perfect for these lovely fall images that are colored so beautifully. Such a wonderful composition. Fall is my fav!
ReplyDeleteI see the colors and even the green dots on those pale apricot pumpkins...I see you've mimicked them perfectly. The addition of that plaid, twine and embossed background finish this great card beautifully.
ReplyDeletePretty pumpkins on that sweet plaid tablecloth! Love the embossed leaves!

ReplyDeleteWhere has this embossing folder been hiding? And just look at those pretty pumpkins! Beautifully done Michele!
ReplyDeleteSuch a unique idea for a pumpkin Michele, what a fab card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Michele, so perfect to use the pumpkin as a planter! Beautiful coloring too
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card, Michele! That embossed background is perfect. You get such crisp and defined embossing! Is your cardstock on the thicker side? And your pumpkins are fabulous. How neat to have one that is a planter! I really like how you colored them and even added the detail dots. And that plaid...looks fabulous. Wonderful work, my talented friend!! Crafty hugs!
ReplyDeleteI agree....beautiful card mf.
