I was inspired by the pretty colours in our inspiration this time so I began by sponging using some distress inks onto a white card panel. Then I stamped and die cut the pumpkins from the panel. I had a bit of a go at getting a photo that really captured the inking as it appears in real life.
Well the missing box of Stampin' Up inks, some NBUS Papertrey Ink stamp sets and my light tent appears to be the ONLY box that did not arrive to the new house in the move. My hubby went through every single remaining box last weekend and then a second time with me to make sure and still not there. He took it much better than I did even after I told him how much it would cost to replace. He is too easy going for his own good, but I'll keep him. Really the inks that I am the saddest about are the retired colours that I was able to find and purchase on eBay.
I hope you pop over to the Curtain Call and see what the rest of the team has come up with this time and to meet our two newest Design Team members--Leigh Penner and Lori Tecler.
So CAS and lovely, Tracey ... hint on that box: look under beds, and in all closets! of course, a little conversation with St. Anthony couldn't hurt - He's helped me out so many times!!

ReplyDeleteYour trio of pumpkins is darling :) Love that colour combo.
ReplyDeleteDarn on the box :( Can you check with the moving company to see if it showed up somewhere else? Have you tried SCS's Buy or Sell page to see if anyone is selling some of the colours you want? I have picked up a few sets I wanted that were retired there.
cute pumpkins. Love the fresh, clean feeling of this.
ReplyDeleteI am completely smitten with these pumpkins, love their shape!! Cute card Tracey! Well that really stinks that your box is nowhere to be found. I would search every nook and cranny again just to ease my mind!! Any chance it ended up at college with your kids LOL!!
