Today I have a pretty birthday card that I made for my mother in law for next month. I'm really into this rustic pumpkin color and love to combine it with green.
The stamps used are Vintage Picnic, using some paper piecing on the picnic basket. The plump little pumpkins were colored with Copic markers. When doing a focal piece like this, I stamp the pumpkins....then color them with my handy dandy Copics.....and then adhere the paper pieced basket over the top. My base cardstock is Terracotta Tile.
I always love to use my scrap papers to embellish the inside of the card.
And here are the Copic colors I used to color in the pumpkin image. Hope you enjoy! It's the perfect time to use those Fall themed stamps.
I'll be trying out lots of new pumpkin recipes this Fall.....got any good ones you'd love to share?? Post them in the comment section. :) Have a great weekend everyone!

Don't be intimidated by the 'healthy' label of it...it really IS freakin' YUMMY! :)
Love this card, but I love everything you do! I never thought about using paper scraps inside. I have saved bunches of scraps, so I will start doing that!
Mishy Poo I love this!!!! Love the tickets tucked on the side!!!
I'm so glad I stopped by today looking for some inspiration, this is my favorite set. Thanks for inspiring all of us!
I love your blog and etsy store! Your creativity and imagination are boundless and so inspiring. One of my favorite pumpkin tools is the Nestibilities pumpkin. I've made lots of things with them and they've all turned out so cute.

Great pumpkin card!!
Glad to see a card with your Vintage Picnic set...it is my most favorite set ever! I love making cards with it, and am so glad you designed it. Now I have a new layout to try with it :)
Don't have any pumpkin recipes, but I'm on the hunt for a pumpkin cake with a delicious cream cheese frosting...with maybe a streuselly topping somewhere in it...
LOVE your card!! Can't wait to try one myself. This is one of my fav sets.
I gave a shout out to you on the Papertrey Ink blog hop today! Thanks for all of your inspiration!
This card has really got me thinking about fall. We in Missouri, are not experiencing fall quite yet, but it will be soon. Thanks for showing the copics you used. I am going to try it with the same colors. Love your style.
This is such a pretty card. The pumpkins really catch your eye, and pop. Have a great rest of the weekend.

Hi Mish, I have this yummy pumpkin recipe that I make here in New Zealand. We're going into spring now, but we've enjoyed this dish over the last few months when pumpkins were in abundance.
(Love your blog!)
PUMPKIN BAKE
1kg pumpkin
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup grated cheese
2 tablespoons sour cream
salt & pepper, and any other seasonings you like
2 tablespoons self-raising flour
2 eggs
1 tomato
grated cheese for the topping
Peel and cut pumpkin into chunks and boil for 20 minutes or until tender. Drain. Add butter and
mash well. Stir in ¼ cup of grated cheese, sour cream and seasonings. Add flour and eggs.
Spread evenly into a casserole dish. Arrange tomato slices on top and sprinkle with grated
cheese. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
Wow Mish, love the card and your blog I must check it at least several times a day. Thanks for sharing your mojo with us in blog land

Hi Mish,
I just love following your blog and all your inspiration that you share with the rest of us less creative stampers. Your label wraps are such an ingenious idea! What paper/product are you stamping on that sticks so well to the envelopes? Thanks for sharing.
I have my pumpkin stamps out as well. I truly love your embellishments inside the card using paper scraps. Ingenious!
