This stamp was a gift to me from my Stamp Guru, Tosha, and it is HUGE! I have been struggling with it all week, and finally "Nestied" it into a size I could deal with! It nearly 'hit the recycle' about five times, but I just could not give up on it!
The image was stamped on White Watercolor paper, and the pumpkins were stamped on SU's Pumpkin Pie and were coated with several layers of Crystal Effects to give them shape. I quilled some olive bazzill to add to the stems and MS branches, and tucked in some Fun Flock.
This is for the Twisted Sister challenge of the week issued by Lesley (Marleygo) to use fall colors. If you'd like to join us, please add the keywords "TSC1022" so we can see your work too!
Thanks for looking!

OMG, Sistah!! this HAD to have taken you all week!! So glad you did not 'recycle' it after all the love you put into it!! Amazd how you gave the pumpkins all that dimension with the CE, the fall leaves, branches and quilling give have such a special look, and your IMAGE with all the flocking, brads, and color is stupendous! Also mesmerized at the way you layered up those fancy brads with the corners on top of that embossed BG - a genuine 'Pat Smethers' masterpiece!! You put my cards to shame!! Two thumbs - WAY UP!!

WOW, WOW, WOW! I am so happy you presisted!! This is just incrediblely GORGEOUS!! Love all the dimension and the rich colors and wonderful embellishments. A masterpiece for sure.
P.S. If I am not pleased with the size of an image, I stamp, scan and resize to suit me. Just like using digis......
