Hello, again! Here to share a card that I made for the current Paper Players challenge to create a clean and simple card with a tag on it. I'm also going to post it to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of Halloween. Let's have a look at what I made.
The elements of this card got started when I was making the card with the big pumpkin on it. I couldn't decide if I wanted to use the big pumpkin die set or this Simon Says Stamp die set called Stack o' Pumpkins with the CTD colors. I die cut the Stack o' Pumpkins from the orange cardstock, as well as the aqua cardstock I used for the other card, but as I played around with the die cuts I just didn't like what I was coming up with. So, I set Stack o' Pumpkins die cuts to the side and made the other card. Then I saw the challenge at the Paper Players I thought I could use the other pumpkins on a tag. While this card is pretty clean and simple I went in a mixed media direction with it. For the tag I sprayed some white cardstock with Fossilized Amber distress spritz, let it dry and then spritzed on some Fallen Acorn distress mica spray. I die cut the tag and then used what was left over to back the open ares of the jack o' lantern pumpkins. I added a bit of distress oxide ink in Gathered Twigs to the tops of each pumpkin. I didn't want to waste the aqua colored die cut pumpkins so I glued them behind the orange ones. I stacked all the pumpkins on the tag starting with the bottom one. I used thin foam squares on that one and then glue for the other two. I recently purchased a package of Penny Black Beautiful Branches stick and shine so I used one of the branches along with bronze Deco Foil in the upper left corner of a white cardstock rectangle. I added the tag and then finished off the card with the twine bow and the sentiment. I didn't have twine in the brown color I wanted so I used some cream colored twine and spritzed it with Gathered Twigs distress stain and Fallen Acorn distress mica spray. I really like how it turned out.
That's it for me. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

How CUTE are those pumpkins! Love this, Rosemary!
Love the foiled branch and everything else about this beauty!
Just Love This!!
Oh my gosh, how CUTE is this? Looking at other peoples' cards is quite dangerous....there are always some new products that I see, then I think I must have them! My pocketbook always feels that pinch! But these little stacking pumpkins are just a treasure on that sweet tag! CAS background is great too! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Players this week!
Darling stack of pumpkins, Rosemary! Love them on the spritzed tag!!
I'm a firm believer that Mixed Media can also be used for CAS and you've provided it with your delightful stacked pumpkin tag! Adding the bare branches was an inspired touch and looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players!
Wow! This stack of pumpkins is adorable. The spritzed tag is a great way to show them off. The branches provide a perfect backdrop. LOVE this card! Thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!
Firstly, I love those pumpkins, then the fab background to them and the twigs to layer them all onto. A Super card Rosemary. x
