Hi everyone I'm back for another week joining the AWH Colour Creations showcase and this week our chosen colour is Pumpkin Pie. As the name suggests it is similar in colour to pumpkin flesh! I always thought it was a dull orange but working with it this week the colour is brighter and can also be used in a citrus theme.
As we head into Autumn in the Southern hemisphere I have used this as a colour combo inspiration for my first card. The long slimline card base in Whisper White measures 21cm x 10.5cm folded and will fit into a business size envelope. The ink colours I have used are Pumpkin Pie, Bumble Bee and Cinnamon Cider to stamp the leaves onto Whisper White and are from the Forever Fern stamp set in the Annual Catalogue, definitely a firm favourite!
And as the Northern hemisphere heads into Spring, I wanted to show the use of Pumpkin Pie in a more brighter colour combination with my second card. So I have used Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight colours.
The stamp set used is Cute Fruit for both the fruit images and the sentiment. Some of the fruit was stamped onto a square Whisper White cardstock and others were fussy cut. This was adhered to a Pumpkin Pie card stock that was cut using a perforated square die cut from the Snail Dies.
And the sentiment stamped and cut into pieces and along with the other bits, were adhered with dimensionals to a piece of Oh So Ombre DSP from the Sale-a-bration promotion that had just finished last weekend. So if you were lucky enough to obtain the free item I'm sure that you will be able to use this paper in many ways.

You've showcased Pumpkin Pie beautifully, Rosa. The colours you chose for your autumnal card look so beautiful together ... I wouldn't have thought to team them up, but love the look. Your second card is very cute and cheery. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colour combo on your first card, and especially how you've only stamped the bottom half of the card. It's very pretty. The fruity card is super cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to show Pumpkin Pie for two opposing seasons - and it works so perfectly for them both! Thank you for sharing your Pumpkin Pie inspiration with us all xx
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Rosa. Love them both. Pumpkin Pie is so good for an autumnal colour, coordinating beautifully with your other chosen colours. Stamping Forever Fern over the lower half of the card looks so good. Your fruit card is so cute - so happy and bright. xxx
ReplyDeleteYou have been so creative, Rosa, and the best part of your cards is the skilful use of the art of stampin'!
ReplyDeleteReally love the two different colour combos there - what a versatile colour. Love your blog Rosa. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the expanse of white at the top of your first card, with all those glorious leaves stamped below. I think this is the first Cute Fruit card I've seen and it's too cute!
ReplyDeleteTwo absolutely lovely cards, Rosa. You have showcased Pumpkin Pie to perfection with these two great cards. I love the autumn colours of your Forever Fern leaves and the fun look to card 2.
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards Rosa. I like them both but your slimline card is stunning. I love your choice of ink colours. Your card certainly reflects the changing seasons here is Australia.
ReplyDeleteI love both your cards but the slimline card is my favourite!
