Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 14 - Pumpkin Pie

Welcome to Week 14 of the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge and this week we are showcasing Pumpkin Pie from the Brights Collection. This vibrant Orange was a fun challenge and had me thinking outside the box to help me show how beautiful this color is.

My card design today is a stepped up version of simple stamping, which also includes the spotlight technique. This fun technique is a great way to add a touch of color to a black and white image to help bring it to life. I chose to use the new Simply Zinnia stamp set from the Online Exclusives. I love the detailed line image of the floral design and the sentiment is a lovely combination of fonts that helps to finish it off. I added some bling and colored some ribbon to help step up the design to create a soft and pretty card.

This clean and simple card design is easy to create and works well for a variety of occasions. I wanted to showcase how versatile Pumpkin Pie can be by showing the different shades using different coordinating products. I added the Pumpkin Pie cardstock layer to help make the focal layer pop. I added the circle of color by die cutting a circle out of a piece of printer paper using the Deckled Circles Dies and used it as a mask to apply Pumpkin Pie Classic ink to the card front using a Blending Brush until I got the intensity that I wanted. I then stamped the floral image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink so that the flowers were inside the circle and the stems were just below the circle. I also stamped the sentiment in the bottom right corner to complete the design. For the ribbon, I used the Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends Marker to color a piece of the Silver & White Shimmer Ribbon to give it a hint of color and then tied it into a simple bow and then attached it to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot. For a touch of bling, I added several Iridescent Rhinestones to complete this lovely card design. I just love how beautiful this card design looks and how well it showcases this bold, bright color.
