I recently won this sweet stamp set from Waffle Flowers Crafts and wanted to make something a little different with the poppy pod. So, I turned it into pumpkins! I masked the bottom of the pod and stamped it 3 times on cardstock, also masking the two outer pumpkins so the middle would look cropped. I should have documented this process but I didn't as this was actually made over a couple days due to time factors and life getting in the way. It happens, right?!
After stamping the pumpkins with black ink, I colored with my distress markers and painted a little bit with Twinkling H20 shimmer paints for shine.
Now, for the documented part; I glued some burlap ribbon then took a strip of May Arts green net ribbon and folded it in half, glued the ends and left a gap. I decided to fill that gap with an orange paper straw for fun and color. I glued that to the burlap, then raised my pumpkins with pop dots. The sentiment was heat embossed for a bolder look and was also part of this stamp kit. The final touch is Freckled Fawn neon enamel dots. I love how this turned out!
