I love autumn colours and carving pumpkins is great fun at this time of year so I decided to combine those things for my card. My pumpkin carving this year might have to be fun and festive rather than spooky as my friend's little girl really didn't like the Voldemort design I had in my porch last year and I'd hate to scare her off, she's a real cutie! I usually get my templates at Zombie Pumpkins and he has a selection of cartoon characters as well as the scary stuff so I might pick one of those!
Inviting a few friends over to help with the carving and maybe to eat pumpkin soup and pie could be a great way to celebrate the season. I used the Invitation Essentials set to do inside and out on this one.Stamps:
All Things Fall
Invitation Essentials
Paper:
Papaya Puree Dark (Prism Papers)
Smooth white
Ink:
Tim Holtz Distress ink by Ranger (Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain)
Other:
Sewing machine and thread
Copic markers
Sponge
Classic Circle Nestabilities
