Just Add A Pumpkin Frond

Already at week two of My Pumpkin Challenge #1115 - Share A Caring Thought!  I'm excited to try a fall version of my Pumpkin kit inspired by Just Add Ink #287's colors! 
When I saw the inspiration pic at Just Add Ink, I knew I'd be focusing on my "frond" stamps, I just wasn't sure how!  I ended up using a VERY basic layout, so I could really highlight the color pops I hoped to bring out.  Then I got a little stuck.  Should I sponge?  Mist?  Ah ha!  I still have my "spritzer!"  A long time ago, Stampin' Up! used to have this "spritzer" tool, that you could insert a marker into, and with a quick puff of air pumped by hand, get a little splatter of ink.  Oh, the messes I used to make!  They were epic!  Of course, there's a reason I don't use the mister too much, too, lol...  After I stamped my leaves over my spritzed square, I wanted to add even more fall color, so I aqua-painted my fronds for the final effect.  A few touches of gold, and we're set!
So, how's your Pumpkin this month?  I think it wants to come play!
