Double D Challenge: Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Who's Got the Pumpkin?

 


Hello, friends!  The Double D Challenge is all about pumpkins today.  Darlene wants to know, "Pumpkin, pumpkin, who's got the pumpkin?

Check out the inspiration photo with pumpkins galore, and see the prize the DDs have for a random winner.  As always, the team votes for creative winners, as well.


 


I have a painted patch of two stylized pumpkins and a scattering of fancy leaves.  They're from a 2020 Penny Black set called Owlsome.  I loved it for the whimsy, yet have only used it once, tsk tsk.  Today it's colored with Tombow markers and blender.  The sky is smooshed watercolor.



You can probably tell I hand cut the leaves and added them to the finished painting.  Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangles provided a border.  That's about it.  Not a lot of hooplah to 'splain about this card.

The team has a lot of pretty pumpkins to share on the Double D blog, so do hop over and get inspired.  I hope to see your pumpkins in the gallery!  Have a beautiful fall day!


Stamps:  Penny Black Owlsome  Paper:  Fabriano Artistico Extra White 140 lb hot press watercolor, cinnamon Bazzill  Ink:  Ranger Archival Jet Black  Coloring:  Tombows and Stampin' Up inks  Other:  Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangles

I LOVED these whimsy pumpkins as soon as I saw them in our lineup! They remind of some pumpkin gourds I have I bought several years ago and look forward to putting out each year!! Anyhow, this is an awesome card!!!

I love that word - whimsy. It's so great and it sums up your card perfectly. I don't generally go in for pumpkins much but these ones are special xx

So good that you got them out to play again, I just love those expressions in their eyes and the coloring is so cool, your fancy leaves you fussy cut are a perfect touch with them!

What a cute card! The first thing that got me were the eyes of the pumpkins! They look like they are having a good time! Love the stamp. Your fussy cutting looks pretty good to me!

Lisa Elton said...

How CUTE are they! I want THOSE pumpkins on my front porch! Love this, Leslie. I've never seen this set before. So happy you inked it up again!

Vicki said...

Cute! Love the whimsical design and faces on the pumpkins. Yet another stamp (Diane's too) set that reminds me of zentangle designs. The smooshed background looks awesome and once again, your coloring is spot on. The fussy cut leaves are the perfect finishing touch. Hope you had a wonderful birthday!

Barbara said...
