Reminiscing

Today I decided to combine the challenges at Dynamic Duos and Hand Stamped Sentiments. 
Orange and green, what better colors for pumpkins?!  One of my favorite stamp sets from a few years ago was Baroque Motifs.  I loved the swirlies (yes, I do believe that is the technical term) and remember using them to make pumpkin vines.  I was so sad to see that set retire, but happy, happy, happy when Everything Eleanor was introduced, with its beautiful swirly image!
It's kind of difficult to tell from the picture, but the vines are stamped on two of the corners of the Old Olive cardstock, which I then embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  Two of the pumpkins from Button Buddies are stamped directly on the carstock and two are cut out and popped up on Dimensionals, with curled Linen Thread.

Stamp Sets: Button Buddies, Everything Eleanor, Perfectly Penned
Cardstock: Old Olive, Tangerine Tango, Very Vanilla
Ink: Old Olive, Tangerine Tango
Tools: Square Lattice Embossing Folder
Accessories: Dimensionals, Linen Thread

    I love this, a LOT :) Great alternating orange and green, and I love the flourishes, and the Perfectly Penned sentiment is just right. Thanks for joining in at Hand Stamped Sentiments! Erika
