Fall Themed Thank You Card with Pumpkins and Gourds (Playing Catch Up)

I know, I know, Fall and Pumpkins and Gourds in April? Even when the weather is weird and spring does not seem to have decided whether it has arrived or not, this card might feel out of place (time / season?). Sorry about that, friends.

I created this card in last October and missed sharing here, so I am playing catch up.

This was also part of Instagram hop - the Fun on the Farm one.

For my card, I did some very playful / rough ink blending with my old daubers and distress oxide inks in Tumbled Glass, Carved Pumpkin, and Crushed Olive. And then, I went to town! I picked every pumpkin die that I could find from my @teamspellbinders dies and cut them out and assembled them.

For my cardbase I created a mini slimline card with pale pink cardstock, partially dry embossed the bottom front part and added a couple of banners on top which I made using two different washi tapes. On this I lined up the pumpkins in all their glory and added a sentiment. For the sentiment, I added the same washi tape to a strip of white paper and die cut my words out of it.

I love everything about this card. Well, I did try to add a tiny bird on one of the pumpkins, but I didn’t have a right sized bird die so...

Hope you like this idea. Happy crafting!
