Pumpkin Time!

Hello, and welcome!

Got another Stretch 'n' Bubbles project to show you, today!

I used one of my favourite autumn images.......Pumpkin.......and had a whale of a time.......I love cutting things out...so relaxin'....ha!

I really like pumpkins.......the colours, the texture, even the taste.........and I think they look fantastic when we use them to brighten our homes, in the Autumn.........sooooooooo..........I made something i could use to decorate a piece of furniture.........

I printed the image onto different papers......
I used scraps of paper......mostly from K&Co......but the one above was actually from NitWits.......and I used a Promarker to add some shadowing......

Added a button to the stem of each pumpkin........stamped some leaves in the same colour tones, and added buttons to the tops.......

I clustered three leaves together before threading with string.....that's another word I like......clustered..........somehow reminds me of all things cosy.......

The faux stitching is already on the digi stamp, so there's very little to do with this cutie........this paper scrap was already embossed.......and I threaded some bright orange embroidery floss through each button......

I think it looks very sweet on my old pine dresser....sorry about the mess on top......ha!

Thanks for dropping in today.......
