I wanted to use the colors from the Colour Q combo and the sketch from My Favorite Things so those challenges set the pace for my card. That fun background was created with a My Favorite Things background stamp. I stamped it in white, embossed it in white and then added color with Distress Stain in Hickory Smoke on watercolor paper. That helped my card fit the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge to not use patterned paper.
I'd been wanting to use these adorable pumpkins from My Favorite Things for some time and it just seemed like I could get them to fit the color combination. I used a MFT's border die, it is actually from a square set but I cut it twice and made it fit the sketch. The pumpkins have matching dies, my favorite way to stamp and cut shapes out. One pumpkin has Liquid Pearl dots added and another one is coated with Glossy Accents.
Here is the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.
