Vintage Pumpkin Postage ~ Double D Challenge

Pumpkin, pumpkin, who's got the pumpkin?  
Double D Challenge does, that's who!  Yes, they're starting a new challenge and the theme is "Pumpkins".  

I chose to pick from the vintage pumpkin patch for this challenge, using Honeybee Stamps Patchwork Pumpkin.

I gave it a postal vibe with an Elizabeth Craft Designs Postage Stamp Die and a Stitched Rectangle die.  

The little postage stamp is from PTI Postmarks and the cancellation stamp is from Spellbinders Flea Market Finds collection, Sign Here.  There is a bit of text stamping in the background and the sentiment is from Honeybee Stamps.

There are oodles of directions you could go with this challenge and I'm sure the gallery is going to be filled with your beautiful work.  I can't wait to see your projects.
Here is the inspiration tile, brought to you by Darlene:

Here's the prize you could win when you play along.  Looking forward to seeing your cards in the linky over at Double D Challenge.



Thanks for stopping by!

An awesome patterned pumpkin (I have that stamp too and it's a favorite) and clever idea to put it on the ever popular 'postage' die
which seems to be perfect for it, it's a super card!!

If I didn't feel like they would be wasted, I'd have a porch-full of pumpkins, Birgit! None would be as adorable as yours is today! And, LOOK, it would fit in a standard envelope! lol

And vintage it is! I love the soft look, it is very homey and comforting. That postage stamp on the top is clever.

Sweet, vintage card, Birgit! So many details with the text in the background and the canceled stamp image, which by the way, I will need to add to my stash now. Love the patterned pumpkin and leaves. All of your vintage designs are spectacular.
