INSPIRED BY CHALLENGE - #IB257 PUMPKINS

Hello stampin' friends!

September has been flying by so fast and it's already time for another new Inspired By Challenge....

Here is this weeks #IB257 inspiration and sketch...

My inspiration came from the pumpkins and the colors.

Today's card features the Into the Bloom: Pumpkins Dies. The frame is from The Greetery - Curio: Cover Die. After cutting out all the dies, I started ink blending all of them and  splashed some black ink on the leaves and pumpkins. Next, I adhered them and added the sentiment from the Concord & 9th - Autumn Hues Set. At last I added some Sparkly Gems...voila!

Go and dig out your fabulous pumpkin dies and stamps and play along!!!  Please stop by the INSPIRED BY BLOG for all the details on playing along! Wishing you a crafty day! ~SL~
