Li’l Pumpkin

CCEE1240 Pumpkin wm

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time again with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Being a brand new month we have a new challenge hostess which is Brenda O’Rear.

Brenda has given us a nice easy challenge this week which is to Use Chipboard on your card or project.

For my card today I used the Pure Innocence Li'l Pumpkin stamp set to create this autumn scene. The girls dress and pumpkin she is carrying is paper pieced using designer paper. The grassy hills were created using the Die-namics Jumbo Clouds Stax. The fence is the Die-namics Picket Fence . I used the Die-namics die from the Die-namics Primitive Pumpkins (LJD) to create the pumpkins peeking out from the grass cut using the Die-namics Fresh Cut Grass. The clouds in the sky were created using the Die-namics Cloud Trio Die. The sentiment is stamped onto one of the arrows from the Die-namics Lead the Way .

The sentiment and arrow is actually my chipboard for the challenge, I die cut the arrow about 3 times and layered them together to create a faux chipboard piece.

Here is the inside of my card. The sentiment which is from the Pure Innocence Pumpkin Patch Girl stamp set is stamped onto the largest arrow from the Die-namics Lead the Way set. I have again used the Die-namics Picket Fence and added a pumpkin from the Die-namics Primitive Pumpkins (LJD) set. And finally the grass using the Die-namics Fresh Cut Grass.
