Pumpkin Wishes

Mornin' y'all!  I'm back with...*counts quickly*...my eleventh card this week featuring at least one pumpkin.  While I won't promise that I won't post anymore pumpkin cards this fall, I will do something different for tomorrow : )  But here is today's pumpkin:

I made a card with Fall Whimsy for the previous Retro Rubber Challenge, but since we were road trippin' then I didn't actually get it inked up at the challenge, so I thought I'd just use that same stamp set for their new color challenge:

Fall Whimsy is still twenty years old, and Hugs & Wishes is only slightly younger at nineteen years old, so how's that for retro?  I still love both of these stamp sets so I appreciated the excuse to trot them out again.  For the colors, I read the palette as Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, Peach Pie, and Lemon Lime Twist.  I used sponges to apply three of the colors on a piece of Basic White cardstock, then stamped the leaf in Cajun Craze on top.  For the pumpkin, I stamped it in Cajun Craze and then colored a bit loosely with Blends.

I do like this week's Freshly Made Sketch:

I almost used the larger leaf from Fall Whimsy for the circular element, but the pumpkin was Right There so I had to continue with the pumpkin cards.  I have had a lot of fun with pumpkins, but I think I'm feeling something witchy coming soon.

Anyway, this is our last full day with Winnie, the husky we're dogsitting (who managed not to tinkle on the carpet at all yesterday, hooray!), and I want to take her and Daphne out to the dog park while the sun's out.  We went yesterday and managed to leave right before it started sprinkling.  Daphne has done better than I thought she would interacting with other dogs so maybe I'll take her out there periodically even after her friend goes back to her own house.  I still haven't looked through all our trip pics and I've taken a bunch of Winnie while she's been here, so maybe I'll finally get to share some of those photos next week when Ryan is (finally) back in school.

Cheers, y'all!
