Papertrey October Blog Hop Card #2



This is my second card for this month's Papertrey Blog Hop.  You can see my first card here.  I really liked my first card, but after I looked at the card and the inspiration photo together, I didn't think that the card was close enough to the photo.  So, I looked at the photo again, and this time the photo said something different to me.  First, it said "Are you sure you don't have pumpkin stamps?  Go check."  Then, it said "Paper piece those pumpkins." I don't know why I didn't see that the first go round, because it seems so obvious now.



The most fun part about making this card was going through my stash of PTI patterned papers, looking for papers that would work.  The least fun part was the actually cutting and piecing.  That was a lot of work.  Paper piecing is officially on my 'only occasionally' list of techniques.  What papers can you spot?  (answer below)

Supplies Used (PTI)
Stamps:  Friendship Jar Fall Fillers, Autumn Acorns
Paper:  Rustic White, Simply Chartreuse, Fall Prints and Patterns, In Bloom, Distressed Dots, Bitty Box, Bitty Dots, Road Trip


Thanks for Visiting

    Paper piecing was my first inclination, but I ended up going another route. This is great!

    Lovely card. Those little pumpkins are so adorable. With the paper piecing, each one is different giving every pumpkin a little personality. I like how you used some non traditional colors.
