After what feels like forever, I’m finally back to making a Paper Pumpkin July 2017 Alternate. Last night my team and I got together and put our paper pumpkins together and had a great time. This morning, I decided that it was time that I played with the Positively Picturesque kit a little more. Next month, I hope to make the alternate before the team get together so that they can make an alternate if they like.

This clean and simple card comes together very quickly – I did a little watercolor wash in so saffron on a piece of watercolor paper ( 2 7/8 inch square) and then used the heating tool on the first setting to dry it. Next I stamped the tulips in lemon lime twist and berry burst and added the sentiment also from the set in berry burst. I tried to use a different color for my mat than lemon lime twist, but it looked the best (or I’m addicted to it, not sure!) – I used a piece 3 inches square to just give a small border. Then I mounted this on a thick very vanilla card base – I love the thick card stock, it’s so much better for card bases.
