I started this card by black embossing the baby on a piece of watercolor paper, masking it off, and doing the same for the pumpkin, before watercoloring them in shades of Pumpkin Pie, Crisp Cantaloupe, Blush Blossom, Pretty in Pink, and Baked Brown Sugar inks. I also added Chocolate Chip, but only because I forgot how much I didn't like Baked Brown Sugar until after I had already used it. LOL! A little Wink of Stella, which is showing up here as white specks, coats the pumpkin, and a foil butterfly was stitched to its base.
I then stamped the "seize the HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY", in Jet Black ink, in its respective location...
trimmed the space below it with a strip of orange, patterned paper; matted it with Pumpkin Pie cardstock; and anchored all the papers together with white-threaded, straight, machine stitches. The space between the stamped, watercolor paper and patterned paper was then trimmed with a bit of lace, as well as a a length of white string, wrapped around the prepped piece three times and tied in a bow; before the entire thing was adhered, with foam tape, to the Oatmeal, cardstock, card face to complete the look.
Here's this week's Creative Challenge No. 92 graphic to get you going in the right direction.
