Happy Tuesday!
It's a cold rainy day in central NC, perfect to be nice and cozy in my craft room with a hot drink and listening to podcasts. The only day this week that's quiet with no agenda. Calm before the storm of a busy rest of week. I've had a lot of unfinished projects on my table and today finished some of them up.
I love this pumpkin stamp by Impression Obsession. I've had it a couple years and have had it stamped but never got around to coloring it until now. I chose the color combo from Color Hues and think it worked out quite well. The background I created by just smooshing some purple dye inks with water onto watercolor paper. I swirled it around and mopped up excess to get a more smooth and full coverage.

Such a lovely pumpkin card!😍
Your card is so lovely, Nance! The flowers decorating the pumpkin is very pretty, as is the frame surrounding it. I like the texture you achieved on your ink smooshed background too. Thank you so much for joining us at Color Hues!
Isn't it a blessing to have a day "off"! I'm glad you got to spend some time in your craft room! This pumpkin is so pretty and looks especially fine with the background! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Color Hues!
This is one of the prettiest pumpkins I've seen! The purple florals are just lovely, and your smooshed background is great. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
Oh my goodness, Nance! This is just as lovely as can be. Next year I am trying purple pumpkins. I could not love this anymore! Thanks for playing at Color Hues. You certainly got my attention and I am sure many others too!
Love how you used that color combination, Nance! An unexpected color scheme for a fall card! Thanks for sharing it with the "Any Occasion Challenge" on the Addicted to Stamps & More Blog. Cathy ATS&M DT
Purple and orange are such fall colors in combination. Your flower filled pumpkin is wonderful and I so love that frame. Thanks for playing with us at Time Out.
