Paper Pumpkin Re-Created

I loved the paper that came in the first months Paper Pumpkin kit...the ombre paper is awesome and I knew I would have to try to re-create my own version.  With the latest color challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments, I decided it was time to see what I could do to create my own ombre paper. 

Here's a look at the cheerful colors:

And here is my re-creation of the fun paper using the Distressed Dots stamp:

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Island Indigo, Whisper White, This and That Epic Day DSP

Ink ~ Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade

Stamp Set ~ Paper Pumpkin (March Kit), A Round Array

Other Supplies ~ 1 1/4" & 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Butterfly Sticker (Paper Pumpkin Try It Kit), Island Indigo Bakers Twine

To create the ombre paper, I stamped my Distressed Dots stamp in Lucky Limeade.  Then I took a scrap sheet of paper, placed it over the bottom half of the stamp to stamp off some color.  I moved the scrap paper down a few more inches and stamped off again...voila!  Ombre effect!  I LOVE the stamps that came in the March Paper Pumpkin and have used them a TON (along with This and That Epic Day DSP...sorry!).  It's a good thing the next Paper Pumpkin will soon be delivered and I'll have something new to play with ;)
