Same but different - Best Pumpkin

Hi friends!  I have gotten together with fellow Polka Dot Orchard design team member Judy Markowitz to bring you something new!  We are doing a 'same but different' blog post!  We both start out using the same Polka Dot Orchard stamp set and color scheme.  Then we see what we each come up with.  I hope you find it a bit fun and exciting.  I having been wanting to do this for a long time and am glad Judy agreed to give it a go!

We are using The Best Pumpkin stamp set.


And I picked a past color palette from the Color Throwdown.  I love their color themes!


Now let's take a peek at the card I came up with!


I love the vintage feel to my card!  Not to mention, who says pumpkins always have to be orange?  I printed the stamp out onto Copic friendly cardstock.  This one is Cryogen White cardstock.  I love it because it itsn't a super bright white and it has a bit of a metallic shimmer to it.

Here are the Copic colors I used:

Pumpkins: E79, 77, 74, 71
Stem & Leaves: YG99, 95, 93, 91
Flower center: R29, 24, 22
Flower: Y19, 15, 11

I do list my markers in the order in which I color.  My preference is to color from dark to light.  Just thought I'd mention it!

After I colored the image in with my Copics, I used my Scan n Cut to cut the image out with a little bit of a border.  Now to get my card put togeter.

My card base is an ivory A2, side fold card.  I added to different patterned papers from Authentique's Gracious paper pad.  I'm not normally a vintage type gal but I really love Authentique's collections.  They are cut to 4" wide and together are 5 1/4" tall.  I had a pice of dark yellow organdy ribbon and a wrapped it around the pattern pieces right where they meet.  I added foam tape to the back of the pumpkins and adhered them right on top of the ribbon.  I made sure to keep the top of the pumpkins right below the ribbon.

The sentiment also comes from The Best Pumpkin set.  I printed it on the same cardstock I used for the pumpkins so the colors would be the same.  I didn't want the sentiment to be in one big block so I cut it apart.  Then I turned the Hello sideways so it would fit at the top of the card.  I snipped the bottom end off at an angle.  I then put the 'pumpkin' portion of the sentiment below the pumpkins.

For the finishing touch I added brown and matte gold sequins in assorted sizes.  That's it!  I really appreciate you stopping by and I hope you will head over to Judy's blog HERE to see what she came up with!

Have a fab day!

  1. I'm headed to check out the other card now. Yours using the stamp set and the color combo came out great! I like how you divided the sentiment and placed the emphasis on pumpkin.
