Hello friends! It's Color Week at Just Us Girls and Bobby has chosen a very pretty fall color combo.
I went through my fall stamps and I came across this pumpkin that I've always loved from Honey Bee. I stamped it in three shades of orange with three different stamps. It looked too white, so I shaded it with some light orange ink. The middle piece was die cut three times and stacked for dimension. I stamped the stem, leaves (I put too much shimmer on the large leaf), and twigs and added some crystals down the middle piece. I chose a weave stencil for the background and brown ink. It looks too busy, but I had to live with it. I chose a simple sentiment.
You can see more from the JUGs design team and our September guest on the JUGs blog.
Thanks for stopping by!

Your bold pumpkin looks very plumptious, is that even a word LOL! The basket weave stencil works well with your theme. I have some butternut squashes growing in the garden, hoping they ripen well too! :)
You had me at first glance...I have had this stamp set in my cart numerous times. Your card is so pretty, especially with that background!!!! It is not too busy!!! Love it!
Lisa... love the patterns on the your pumpkin. I have never tried that but it works so well! Thanks for sharing.
I like the mix of patterns of the pumpkin paired with the background. I do like it but would like to see it on a dark solid background. Maybe time for you to make card two. LOL
Fun use of the patterned pumpkin, fun card
What a cute pumpkin! This is delightful, Lisa!
What a fun pattern filled pumpkin, Lisa.
Your layered patterned pumpkin is absolutely fabulous! So pretty! The stenciled background is perfect!
