I should be cleaning my house right now... I am expecting quite a few people over tonight to carve pumpkins and I can't believe I HAVEN'T started to CLEAN! I guess this was my calm before the storm. I'm going to have to go at it like I never have before! :o/
About my card:
I had pumpkins in mind...with a fence and a house. Umm...I don't have pumpkins stamps, nor do I have a house stamp! I had to come up with something else. So I chose this poinsettia stamp that was hiding behind a bunch of stamps on one of my shelves! I took my FAVORITE gingham bg paper and sponged red on top and then stamped my poinsettia. I then sponged that same bg paper with garden green and stamped down again for the leaves. I'm not 100% sure I did this paper piecing thing right...one can only hope!
Hope you like my card!
jenna
Wish me luck! I just don't think I am going to get my house as clean as I'd like! :'o( (sniff, sniff)

It looks like piecing to me - unless you layered those petals and leaves up a couple of times with foam, when it's on the way to being paper-tole. It's certainly gorgeous, I love your rich colours.
I am sure you got the house as clean as it needed to be - I am a firm advocate of that saying that a tidy house is the sign of a boring person. Or maybe it should be bored, the original sounds a bit unfair, LOL.

WOW! Jenna is just beautiful! Welcome back, I've been waiting to see your beautiful work and this is no exception. I love what you did w/ the gingham paper. I would never have thought to sponge over it, but you acheived a wonderful effect. This is a beauty. Remember you have my addy!!!
