Autumn Colors & Pumpkin Pals Card
Hello everyone! Fall is here and we are loving all the falling leaves and colors! We have had some time to craft which has been super nice, we are loving the cooler weather which means less to do outside! Happy fall to everyone! Thank you so much for stopping by! If you like our blog and posts we would love for you to give our blog a follow!
This card was inspired by the Double Trouble Challenge and the Try a Sketch on Tuesday Sketch. Links to both challenges are near the end of this blog post along with links to the other challenges I am joining. I was super excited to use this new stamp set we purchased from Simon Says Stamp during STAMPtember this year! I just fell in love with it! I used the autumn wreath stencil and Tim Holtz Distress Inks to create the background then the Pumpkin Pals stamp and die set for the little critters on the front and inside of the card along with the sentiments. I sure hope you get fall vibes with this card, I know I sure do!
