Stampin' Up! Pumpkin Pie

 

This week, is week  43 in the Colour Creations blog hop and this week we continue our journey through the existing Stampin' Up! core colours, working in alphabetical order. This week our feature colour is  Pumpkin Pie, a member of the Brights family of colour and is similar to the colour of a Pumpkin as the name suggests.

 For this week's card I have gone back and revisited the gorgeous Cheerful Daisies bundle as well as a new Online Exclusive bundle, Happy Little Things, and teamed Pumpkin Pie simply with Black and White and used lots of embossing, which happens to be one of my favourite techniques. I just love watching the embossing powder melt when heat is applied. So effective. 

For the background I have selected a piece of the Stargazing Designer Series Paper and stamped one of the Cheerful Daisies stamps multiple times using Versamark. The daisies have then been embossed in White. Given the paper has multiple shades this was thought to be enough for the background. 

A large bow using Black and White Gingham has been placed under the sentiment panel.

Both of the sentiments are from the new online exclusive bundle, Happy Little Things. The stamp set has largish words in both outline and solid that can be matched with smaller phrases. In this case the outline stamp has been embossed in Black. Strange but true, I don't own Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends so I have used Blender Pens and a Pumpkin Pie ink pad to lightly colour the infill of the sentiment. 

 On closer inspection it appears that I may have accidentally knocked off some of the embossing powder on each end of the word "Celebrate". Before stamping "Celebrate" another Cheerful Daisies stamp was stamped off several times  using Pumpkin Pie.  

The smaller of the sentiments has been embossed in White on Black cardstock and then die cut using one of the Happy Little Things dies. 

Finally a few Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins in Pumpkin Pie have been added for some bling.

For the inside of the card a couple of different Daisies also from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set have been stamped in Pumpkin Pie on White and die cut, along with a leftover strip of the Paper used on the front of the card.
