Don't Have a Pumpkin





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"
