Pumpkins

It seems like these pumpkins are addictive, I cannot stop stamping them!

I have used Multi-step stamps from Kitchen Sink Stamps. These pumpkins look so real and they are very easy to stamps.

The grid background is from Walzingmouse Stamps, I really love Claire's designs and this background set is very useful.




In the next card, I used the same focal images but I changed the background.

For the background I used "weathered wood" from Cornish Heritage Farm and Text-style from Papertrey.

Autumn leaves

I love autumn leaves. Here, almost all the trees have beautiful red/yellow leaves!

I have made another card with a vintage look (I love Distress Inks!!!).

I coloured the acorns with Copic marker (E35, E37, YG91, YG95).
