Pumpkins

Good Morning everyone

Today im sharing the only Halloween cards i made, i used a stampendous pumpkin stamp and aall&create spider web.

I made my cardbase from orange pearl cardstock which has a lovely shimmer to it, i stamped the spider web in 2 corners using grey ink and stamped the sentiment in black in the bottom right corner.  I then took some patterned papers and stamped the batty spider web in the middle, matted onto black and added a die cut a frame from black and added over the top with foam tape.  I took an offcut of the same paper matted onto black and added to the left side of the card front. I then added my topper panel with more foam tape.

I stamped the pumpkins and watercoloured with inktense pencils and cut out. Fright night sentiment stamped in black and die cut into an inverted scallop circle.  I added glossy accents to the pumpkin, bat & owl eyes to finish.

Version 2
It is interesting as i stamped all the pumpkins on off cuts of white card - i have a drawer full!  Anyway i used the same inktense pencils on them all and they look quite different, the first one brighter and more muted on this one.

and version 3, made the same way but i added Mr Crow who id paper pieced to add a bit of colour and i cut the pumpkins up to build a little scene around the crow.  

Items Used:
Stampendous stamps 'pumpkin night'
Aall&create stamps #445 dashing crow & #572 spooky sky
Clearly besotted sentiment stamp
Frame die
Stitched circle dies
Spellbinders inverted scallop die
Funky Fossil paper pad 'kaleidoscope'
Inktense pencils

Thank you all for stopping by and all your lovely comments too, i really do appreciate it.  I hope you all have a good week.  Its half term so i hope to catch up with my nieces at some point. Hugs Emmaxx

All three versions are great! I like them all but really like that first one - maybe because it's brighter. The muted one is too cute and of course the addition of the crow on the last one is perfect for a "fright night" card! Love all the details on them.
