Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week we have a bowl of pumpkins for our inspiration piece!

My mind went to how could I create the bowl. I looked at my dies, and figured that the large label from Seasonal Labels Dies would work and the small pumpkins in the Seasonal Swirls Dies would be a perfect fit!

SEASON’S BLESSINGS

Stampin’ Details:

- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Beauty of the Earth Designer Paper was added on top.
- A 1-1/2 x 4 strip of Misty Moonlight cardstock with a 1/4 x 4 strip of Pumpkin Pie cardstocks were added across the front.
- The large Seasonal Label was cut from Basic White cardstock, then sponged with Smoky Slate Ink to give it a farmhouse feel. The edges were curled up to resemble the sides of the bowl.
- Two sets of leaves from Season’s Blessings were stamped off with Soft Succulent Ink onto Basic White cardstock, then cut with the Seasonal Basket Dies. They were cut apart and added into the “bowl” with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Four Misty Moonlight, three Pumpkin Pie and three Basic White pumpkins were cut with the Seasonal Swirls Die, then added to the bowl randomly.
- The greeting from Season’s Blessings stamp set was stamped with Misty Moonlight Ink on 5/8 x 2-1/2 Soft Succulent cardstock and the end cut at an angle. It was tucked into the pumpkins.
- Some Brushed Metallic Dots were added in the background.

This was SO much fun to create and put together…think it looks pretty much like the inspiration piece! OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
