Lots of Love Pumpkin card

My third card with the September Betterpress Society plate "Raining Pumpkins" from Spellbinders was designed as I went along.

I started by inking up the plate with Antique Linen ink, and Vintage Photo around the edges.  After pressing, I used the coordinating stencils to colour in the pumpkins with Dried Marigold, Antique Linen and Mowed Lawn.  I wasn't all that thrilled with the result, I thought the center area didn't have enough contrast.  While searching for something else, I came across this oval vellum diecut, and thought that it just might work on this card.

I die cut the Lots of Love sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio in brushed gold cardstock from the Spellbinders Treasured Gold cardstock pack, and mounted it on Chocolate cardstock  I was able to hide my adhesive behind the words, and attached the vellum to my panel.  A few gold pearls finished it off - I'm very happy with the end result!
