Card Art by Helen

Here's this month's colour combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

What's better for celebrating spooky season than pumpkins? These cheerful yet creepy gourds are bound to make you smile!

To create the background, the Sketched Plaid Cling Stamp Set was stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Berry Burst Cardstock. After stamping the background, the layer was trimmed so as to fit on a standard-sized Berry Burst card front.

Two large and three small pumpkins from the Pick of the Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set (the two pumpkin images that match with the coordinating Pick of the Patch Builder Punch) were stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink and punched out using the builder punch. The creepy pumpkin face image was stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on one of the large and two of the small pumpkin shapes. 5 stalks were stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Pebbled Path Classic Ink, and 2 leaves were also stamped on Basic White using Shaded Spruce Classic Ink. These elements were also punched out using the builder punch. The pumpkin, stalk, and leaf elements were arranged in the bottom right corner of the stamped Berry Burst layer, with the two top-most small pumpkin elements being adhered using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The "Happy Halloween" sentiment was stamped in Shaded Spruce on a Basic White Cardstock strip. A thin strip of Shaded Spruce Cardstock was adhered to the bottom of the Basic White strip, and the left-hand edge cut at an angle with Paper Snips. Black Baker's Twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack was looped around the stamped sentiment strip and tied in a small bow. The sentiment element was adhered to the top right corner of the stamped Berry Burst layer using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The whole Berry Burst card layer was added to a Berry Burst folded card base, again using Stampin' Dimensionals.
