Can anyone believe it is already the end of July? Life has become a whirlwind without question. Holly has created this final sketch challenge of July. Where does your imagination take you with this sketch? We would love to see your work, please consider sharing your card creation with us at CAS Colours & Sketches.

Where did my thoughts take me? Well, my dot on the map is going through heat indexes temps well above 100. Hot, Humid, really kinda ready for fall/winter. So I chose to go with Stamp set coming in August called Pretty Pumpkins, it can be bundled with the coordinating dies Deatiled Pumpkins Dies. It is gorgeous, wait till you see it in action below.

This is a new Stamp set and coordinating die set from Stampin’ Up!, it releases 4 August 2021. I am a very big pumpkin fan so it is just a simple must have for me. I used the images in the stamp set with Versamark ink on Cajun Craze and Evening Evergreen cardstock, then heat embossed the with Copper Embossing powder. Using the coordinating die set I cut the pumpkin, vines and the Soft Succulent cardstock additional leaf. The vertical element is Brushed Metallic cardstock (brushed gold and copper) scraps cut into 1/4″ strips. The greeting “Gather Together” from the same stamp set is stamped in Cajun Craze ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock, die cut with the Tailor Made Tags. Once all the elements are ready to go, I glued the Brushed Metallic strips to Very Vanilla Thick Cardstock, then attached the pumpkin and tag with dimensionals.
