Pastel Pumpkins

Afternoon, y'all!  I am slowly starting to get back in the swing of things:  I've taken Daphne for her walk every day this week (which is currently the only exercise I can do, no core activation for a while yet which leaves out pretty much...everything), I've made a couple of cards for future DT commitments so I can be ready ahead of time, and this morning I made one for a couple of new challenges!  Here it is:

I think Pick of the Patch might be my favorite pumpkin-centric stamp set, unless it's my very old favorite Carved & Candlelit.  Anyway, I had to make a pair of pastel pumpkins for the Inspired By... challenge:

Which I paired with the hot-off-the-presses Festive Friday challenge:

I used cream (Very Vanilla cardstock), sequins, heat embossing, and clean & simple for my card, and a whole lotta Petal Pink which is not a color I tend to gravitate towards.  It's hard to tell in my photo, but the polka dots on the larger pumpkin, the sentiment, and the sequins are all gold, I've been having trouble getting good photos lately.  The little pumpkin is stamped in Peach Pie, but to soften the colors of all my stamping I inked up the stamps and then used sponges to lift some of the ink before I stamped on my cardstock.  Also a trick I use when an ink pad is extra super juicy.

That's it for now, peeps.  Until midnight, and another spooky card!  Cheers!
