The Write Stuff

Posts Tagged ‘pumpkins’

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC776), we are headed to Halloween Costumes. Some really spooky stuff there & I was inspired by THIS picture.

For my spooky scene, I die cut the grey bg & all the crows, bats, tree & owl out of black. The moon is just a largish yellow circle & I sponged some orange ink around the edges. The white fence & tombstones were die cut & I wrote RIP on a few of them & added cracks to others (these are all part of the Spooky House die) . I had a sponged piece of yellow/orange & die cut the pumpkin out of it. For the clouds at the top, I sponged on some picket fence Distress ink on the edges in order to have them show up a little more. Then it was just a matter of piecing everything all together. The only stamping on this was the greeting & I sponged the edges of it, too. The eyes were added on the crows & bats using a white Posca paint pen.

I made this card for the Color Challenge on Splitcoast (CC812). The colors are coral, curry & cinnamon. I don’t have any of today’s colors so I got as close as I could. Since I blended the coral color onto the yellow leaves it looks more orange than anything. All I can say about that Crushed Curry color is gee..I thought the Starfruit color was hideous & turns out curry makes it look a little better. So there’s that in the sort of plus column.
This card (or maybe it’s me) has problems..it’s totally a case of can’t see the forest for the trees. I’m working away putting all those teeny tiny leaves on there, arranging the pumpkins, etc. Then I see it..wonderful looking door to nowhere. No house (or else it’s a very, very narrow house, lol). This so reminds me of a trip my sis & I made to NC. On the way back, we saw a nice little house w/ a carport. The carport had a garage door. I still can’t figure that one out. It was still open on the other 3 sides. I guess that’s why this card is similar to that carport.

The Color Challenge (CC804) on Splitcoast today uses green, med. blue & golden yellow.  I think those colors are perfect for my fall/Thanksgiving card. I’ve seen a lot of chalk white & bluish white pumpkins in ads & thought that might be pretty. I knew it would certainly make the words on this pumpkin stack easy to read.

To make my card, I stamped &  colored the pumpkin stack, sticking to colors on the muted side, then die cut it in an oval. I added a white layer w/ the oval cut out &  a gray-blue oval frame on top. The little sunflowers &  leaves were colored &  fussy cut to add around the frame. 

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