Seize the Birthday #274

 

Hello crafty friends!  Happy Thanksgiving to all of those in the United States.  And happy everything day to those elsewhere in the world.  

Seize the Birthday has the perfect challenge for today and the next two weeks.  Barbara is our host and she has chosen Fall Items as our Topping.  






I am still enjoying all of them autumn themed dies so deciding on a wheelbarrow full of pumpkins was an easy choice.  I cut them from colored cardstocks and added in a bit of ink blending to give them a bit of dimension.  The background panel is a mix of two designer papers.  I used a large leaf rubber stamp (no idea of the maker) to create a focal design on the upper section using the rock and roll stamping technique.  I also edged the background in ink to give it a bit of a distressed look.  I die cut the large sentiment from gold cardstock and added a strip of it to separate where the two papers joined.  The sub sentiment was stamped.  I really love the fall vibes on this one.  

Supplies:
Honeybee Stamps - Wheelbarrow die set
Papertrey Ink - Happy die
The Greetery - Sentiment Squared stamp set
Honeybee Stamps - 6x6 paper pad
Leaf stamp - unknown


I invite you to visit our blog for more birthday inspiration using fall items.  The toppings are optional but the birthday theme is mandatory.  As always, thanks for visiting!!  Your time means a lot to me.
