While surfing the net and ending up at Pinterest, I found this fun card. Upon reading about how it was made I discovered it was a "Paper Pumpkin" kit card. UGH! I did not join the monthly Paper Pumpkin "club". I have liked a lot of the kits but have never purchased any. But this one card in particular I just loved and wanted to make in the worst way. After finding out it was a Paper Pumpkin card I almost gave up on it. But there was something about this card that had me obsessed!!! LOL I just HAD to make it. You can see the original card here at Heather's blog.
I proceeded to get out the supplies I thought I needed to make this card.
The first thing I did was stamp the background using "Gorgeous Grunge" and the Bermuda Bay ink pad. I always love it when I can use the "Gorgeous Grunge" set!!!
Since the circle was a dotted stamped one I knew I would have to improvise something there. I used dotted decorative paper instead. I punched it out and a piece of white for a layer behind it.
I used the Washi tape from Christmas and taped it across a piece of white card stock and trimmed it up. I tore one end and left the other straight. The words are from the "Simply Sketched" set and were trimmed up after stamping. I cut the sides using a scissors. I taped a piece of the elastic ribbon to the back and before setting it in place I tied a double bow using linen thread.
This was a fun card to make. It's not exactly like the Paper Pumpkin one but I like it anyway!
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
Wanda
