Today the Tuesday Teapotters MMTPT374 challenge is to help save the Pumpkinville Pumpkin Fest! I hope you will join us in making a festive pumpkin card to add to the gallery! Once a month, the Teapotters exchange cards and this is the week! If you'd like to make a card and join our optional exchange, you can read more about it in the challenge post.
My card was inspired by this wonderful painting (IC512) by Osnat Tzadok.
Anybody who knows me on SCS knows I am a big fan of Halloween! I could not resist featuring Frankie a cute little Stampotique Pumpkin Head trick-or-treater with his funky "side kick" pumpkins. He even brought his baby bat named Drac (on his bag.) The sky was dragged through multiple distress inks and water, several times. I dried the layers with a heat gun and splashed some water drops on it with my fingers to finish it off. The pumpkins and Frankie were colored with Inktense pencils, Sakura gelly roll pens and sparkled with a Wink of Stella glitter brush. It was a fun card to make and I hope the Teapotter who receives my card will enjoy it!
Thanks for looking!

Linked this to the challenge thread . Wow, there are so many fun details to look at and explore. I latched onto the little baby bat that Frankie is carrying straight away, I always liked bats, and we once had a cat called Drax because he was rescued from near where Bram Stoker used to live. That's a fabulous background die and sky; you must have had such fun making this, and it really shows.

What a super scene for Halloween! I don't know which part I love the most; the stamping in the foreground or the die cuts in the background. I really love those spooky foreground pumpkins! This is so full of wonderful details. Great card!
