This is my card for today's sketch challenge.
And for Cindy's teapot challenge - http://mothermark.blogspot.com/2008/...uesday-21.html.
We're not big into pumpkins over here, so I've never bothered with a pumpkin stamp. I made this one with a 1 1/2 inch circle punch and the small oval punch. I used a half inch green circle just to fill in at the base, and a large daisy punch trimmed down for the top. The swirls are a little punch I got to use for tails for monkeys .
I measured my base card in inches and quailed at the maths involved. Then I measured it in centimetres and it was 12x12 - problem solved.
The base is dark petrol blue, embossed with Swiss Dots (guess what I collected from the post office on the way home from work today!). The squash yellow strips were embossed with D'vine Swirl, and had the outside edges sponged with orange. I cut 3 cm squares in orange and blue, and sponged the edges of the orange ones. The blue ones I trimmed down a tiny bit, punched out the leaves, embossed and sponged the edges with dark blue. I used the same green card that I used on the pumpkin, covered it with some Diamond Stickles and stuck on some more swirly monkeys tails and the blue squares.
And that was it, really. I do send a Thanksgiving card to my half-sis in MA, so this had better go in the post tomorrow.
Thanks Roxie and Cindy.

Your caption had me at hello, Sabrina! How creative was that to title your card Space Pumpkin or UFO? the card matches the title perfectly. Love those brilliant cards together and then those flourishes are something else girl. Too creative!
