This one is similar to an earlier post today, 'Leaf on the Wind'. I used the same Baroque Motifs swirl (loooove that swirl), but this time I imagine it to be a vine.
The pumpkin is from Autumn Apparitions, and the sentiment, too. I think if I had to do it over, I'd stamp the sentiment in a brown color instead of black, but, alas, it is already done.
The sentiment is 'banner style', with notches cut out of each end. I propped it up with dimensionals (my favorite workhorse) with a bend in the middle, so the banner pops off the page. Might not work so good in an envelope, but oh well. Guess I'll hand-deliver this.
My sketch inspiration was from Waltzingmouse:
A close-up of the pumpkin, which was colored with markers first, huffed on, then stamped.
Gotta get ready for work now. Thanks for joining me, I really appreciate your visit and your comments!
Happy Stamping,

Love the banner style! Fall is in the air! (Well, not where I live, so I have to live through my blog friends :-) )
ReplyDeleteWay to use that Baroque Motifs flourish! Wonderful use of the sketch too :)

ReplyDeleteThis is SO fab, Colleen! Love the stamped vines! :) So glad you joined us for the Waltzingmose Sketch Challenge!
ReplyDeleteOh, this one is great, too!! And now I can totally see that flourish as a vine. So versatile!! Cool way to do your sentiment banner. I've seen them done that way but have been afraid to try it. You'll have to let me know how delivery goes :)
