It's been a while since I've had time to play along with an IO challenge, but their current Shades of Fall challenge was absolutely perfect for combining with this week's Thankful Pumpkins Tickle a Teapotter challenge from Mary. I knew I wanted to use this stamp, it always makes me smile!
Stamped my image on watercolour paper and coloured with distress inks, using a glaze pen on the straws. The base layer is watercolour paper stamped with Gradation randomly inked with autumn colours and spritzed with a bit of extra blue at the top. I added an extra pumpkin made with punched ovals and a little bow die, and some leaves cut from watercolour paper and spritzed with colour. Edges of the base layer are stitched.

Your 'jack-o-kitty' is soooo cute! What an awesome idea, I'll bet one could carve a real pumpkin to look like this!! Fabulous image and coloring. Love the background too.

Sabrina, the image is the BEST EVAH!! Made me giggle to see it! Your extra points pumpkin at the bottom sports a rather fancy bow and I love how the falling leaves seem to continue fluttering down from the birdhouse ones. There must be a very crafty bird living in that birdhouse to carve such a scary kitty pumpkin face!! Love every inch!!
