May 2022 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Card 1

I loved the simple, clean designs in the May Paper Pumpkin Kit! So, I’ve created my first Celebrating In Color alternative by giving a nod to the designs in the Kit.
To do that, I used Ink Blending to create an ombre pattern for the large banner layer.
After stamping the sentiment pieces, I colored the one with Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends.
Then, I’ve embellished with splatter, a Stylish Shapes Dies cut in Tahitian Tide and some Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon.
Celebrating In Color Alternate 2

For my second Celebrating In Color alternative card, I kept it simple!
After stamping the background layer with Rays of Light in Starry Sky, I added a Tahitian tide banner cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies (size chart HERE).
And, I finished with one of the foiled die cuts from the May 2022 Kit to which I added a stamped sentiment in Starry Sky.
Both of these cards will meet some of your masculine card needs!
