For my fall card, w/ the image in my Misti, I stamped the pretty Quilted Pumpkin w/ Memento, colored it w/ Copics, then over stamped it w/ Versaclair. I die cut using my out of the box die cutting technique to avoid cutting off the stem & leaf. This is one of favorite techniques..I like how it allows me to use smaller dies for the images but still keep the focus on the image. All of the background pieces were leftovers in my stash. The goldenrod & olive colored pieces were spritzed w/ bleach & the rust strip w/ the gold flecks is a leftover from my Gilded Rainbow tutorial. The leaf & acorn were stamped w/ the acorn Versaclair ink & die cut w/ their matching dies. I die cut the Fall word once out of rust & once out of goldenrod & double stacked them.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Please be sure to comment on all the blogs..it is much appreciated & also increases your chances of winning!

    What a fabulous card!! So many cool details!! I love the idea of “spritzing” with bleach as you mentioned but bleach is so hard on the containers one puts it in… I bet you have to replace the spray bottle (if that’s what you use) pretty often. 🙂 I just may have to try that anyway!! 🙂 🙂

  8. What a fun card!
