Little Pumpkin

Today I'm sharing a quick little enclosure card I plan to include in Halloween packages for my niece and nephew.  The Retro Rubber Challenge this week is to "get your spook on" and I thought these would fit the bill nicely.  The images are from a Stampin' Up wheel that must be 20 to 25 years old (WOW, how is that even possible???).  I ran the wheel over a Versamark pad and then heat embossed it in white on a scraps of black card stock.  I used a little bleach to the pumpkin image and then colored it in with markers.  Quick and cute.





Happy Stamping,
Dana

    Hi Dana, What a fun card this is. I have never used a stamp wheel. You've done a great job with your old friend. Well Done. Barbxx

    Dana, what a great way to use an old SU wheel. Love the embossing and coloring just one pumpkin certainly makes him pop! Thanks for including Retro Rubber in your stamping fun this week. Hope to see you often in our gallery!
