The Card Concept - Pumpkin Season

 It's time for a new challenge over on The Card Concept blog. 

Today's challenge is: Pumpkin Season
Everyone is welcome to play along using the colors, the theme, 
textures, items, or just anything from the picture as your starting point. 
 
 I was inspired by the colors and pumpkins when I created my mixed media card. 
 
To create my card I stamped the background in watermark ink and embossed it with white embossing powder. I added some smears of white pigment ink to give it a dirty chalkboard look. The pumpkins were stamped on mixed media paper in waterproof ink and colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens. The card base is kraft cardstock inked around the edges with distress ink. To finish it off, I added a Baker's Twine bow and button.

 Supplies and tools:
