The STAMPlorations Giving Thanks Blog Hop!


Hello!
I'm so thrilled and honoured to be representing the Craft Stamper Take It Make It Blog challenge in today's Giving Thanks Blog Hop!





STAMPlorations are having a fabulous blog hop today, all about Giving Thanks! Lots of designers have all created a project using one of the Giving Thanks bundles, a great set that includes stamps, a stencil and dies!
I used the Oh So Grateful Bundle: 



And used it to create this....





Admitedly, not your usual Fall or Thanksgiving colours :)
I used the stencil to create a texture paste design as my background...




This was sprayed with a variety of inks to give a multi coloured look!
The pumpkin was stamped onto purple and teal painted card, then cut out using the matching die! I used the purple leaves on a the teal pumpkin..




The words I used are a combination of stamps on their own (Oh, so) and stamps and a die (the black stamped 'gratetful', cut out using the matching die)



As you can see, I also added one of my hand drawn Whimsy Girls! I think she looks very grateful for her fabulous teal pumpkin, don't you?!

As well as the fabulous eye candy to be seen along the hop (more about that in a minute!), there are also prizes to be won!

  13. Yes it's an unconventional colour for pumpkins, but I do love blues and purples... I think your Whimsy girl is very proud of her pumpkin, who know maybe SHE made it blue, the first ever blue pumpkin in the world!

  14. Your whimsy girl is fabulous, but that background is Jaw-Dropping Gorgeous!! Last month my aunt was telling me someone up in Indiana is doing a blue pumpkin wedding... First I'd ever heard of them til now.
