The Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge this week is GORGEOUS GOURDS. I thought I had seen a blue pumpkin once or twice but decided to check it out. I found out that it is really a Jarrahdale squash or an Australian Blue Pumpkin.
Look at this gorgeous photo Curtain Call gave for inspiration:
I noticed the pillow in the background with the gold, brown, and blue and decided I would paper piece my largest pumpkin. The others are colored with Copics.
I stamped my large pumpkin, then masked it and stamped the leaves going up my card. The other two pumpkins were stamped and cut out so I just stamped part of the leaves there from the same stamp, then popped up my pumpkins.
I'm also entering the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge-Use a rubber or clear stamp
This is also another card for the Paper Snippet's Playground #94--I used snippets to paper piece my large pumpkin and snippets also on the small pumpkins.
The cue word this week at CAS-ology is PUMPKIN so I'm entering my card there.

You are definetly on a roll. Geeesh make me look bad. I finally posted something after a month. I can't believe how that time flew by. Benzi, this card is awesome. I love the shades of blue.
This is incredible, Benzi! LOVE your paper pieced pumpin...absolutely clever...genius, really! Thanks so much for playing along with the Gorgeous Gourds challenge at the Curtain Call!
I love it. Blue pumpkins(squash)- beautiful. I saw in a magazine that someone had glitter painted pumpkins with all different colors and I adored the look. I have a blue sofa and love seat in my living room, so I think I will get some blue paint and get going on them tomorrow. Your card is beautiful especially the paper piecing on the larges pumpkin. the leaves are a great addition. This is a topnotch card,Brenda and I didn't even have to pay for any of the supplies you used. LOL Enjoy your day.

Your pumpkins are gorgeous Benzi, love the mix of colours and patterns. Thank you so much for joining us this week at CASology
So, so cool! Especially loving the paper pieced pumpkin.
I first found out about pumpkins that are colors other than orange through my Martha Stewart magazines long ago. Now, I find myself gravitating toward the grays and creamy whites. So soft and pretty!
Very pretty and great job with the inspiration piece!
A really great look with the paper piecing. I have saved this so I can do something similar. :-) Having a party here!
I am loving these funky pumpkins....such a striking fall card
