challenges you to stamp with acrylic paint.
I wanted to make simple little Fall cards with one pumpkin, but
I don't have an individual pumpkin stamp.
An upside down apple will do!
Here are some simple, one-layer cards using Papertrey's Fruit Fusion Apple,
stamped with Americana Acrylic paint.
After inking up with paint, I gently made striations with my nail before stamping on the paper.
I wish I had done that to the first two...I like it. ;)
I'm sure the apple stem would have worked, but I wanted more dimension, so I made stems with floral wire.
Pliers were used to curl the wire, and then the stem was inserted through the hole and taped to the back.
Other challenges:
My cards are tiny... 3"X3"

What a great idea! Your pumpkins came out perfectly, such a nice set of Fall cards!
Perfect little autumn mini cards Marlena! Great job with the paint technique!!!
Cute card, love the pumpkin. Thanks for playing along with us here at Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge this week. Hope to see you again next week.
Aren't you clever! An upside-down apple stamp is pure genius. Especially because lots of pumpkins (at least the ones we grow at my house) have flat bottoms from sitting on the ground.
Thanks for playing along with us at CAS-ual Fridays this week!
