Punch Art Pumpkins

This is a swap card I made this month that I CASED from Michelle Zindorf.  You can see her original card here.  I really like the whimsical pumpkins created from punches.  The background is a direct pad to paper technique.  It really gives the Baked Brown Sugar a unique look with the Basic Black ink on it.  The pumpkins were created using the Extra Large and Large Oval Punches.  The stems were also made by punching the Large Oval shape, then punching out a small section from the negative space that remained after punching out the oval.  As a finishing touch I spritzed the card with Illuminate reinker mixed with alcohol in a Stampin' Spritzer.
