  • Pumpkin Thanks

    A Thanksgiving card with a different color combo. Blue & orange pumpkins w/ splattered leaves & partially die cut greeting. Two different backgrounds were used for the pumpkins & leaves. Great way to use up those backgrounds you made that aren’t that impressive on their own. Once you stamp & die cut an image onto them, they take on a whole new look.

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC930) we’re visiting What Meagan Makes & her Pinterest site where I found THIS picture for my inspiration. I really liked the color combo of blue & orange for the pumpkins, so that’s where I started.

    I had a couple of different backgrounds in my stash..1 was heavily splattered red/orange on the bottom and mostly ivory on top. I used that for the 1 whitish pumpkin & some of the leaves. The red/orange part I used for the rest of the leaves. The other background was brayered w/ blue & orange & to me, wasn’t all that pretty by itself. But I think it did work out great for the 2 bigger pumpkins. All the images were stamped w/ espresso Distress oxide ink. I wanted a bit of a softer, worn look & that fit the bill.

    I also used the red/orange part for the Thanks die cut greeting, attached an ivory version, offset behind it before attaching it to the blue shadow. The Give word was stamped w/ an alphabet set. For the large ivory background, I smooshed two of the brown shades of the Color Fuse ink onto an acrylic block, then used a wet paintbrush to pick up the color & splatter it across the background. I used the lightest, mocha ink to sponge the edges of the panel.

    Then it was just a matter of arranging all the die cut images. the pumpkins are popped up a bit, w/ the mostly ivory one, popped up just a bit more than the others.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC883) and we’re visiting Wescover and their Pinterest Board where I found THIS lovely rug.

    I stamped, colored and die cut the Thanksgiving greeting w/ a stitched circle die. Since the rug had a lot of diamond shapes on it, I turned the maroon square to form a diamond behind the circle. The leaves and branches were die cut out of some leftover Gilded Rainbow paper I made ages ago (click link for tutorial). For the background, I die cut the lattice cover die out of white and by chance, found on one of sheets of the Harvest Time paper, the pattern fit perfectly inside the lattice openings. I backed the scallops of the cover die w/ another piece of maroon paper.


    Here are the Copics I used for the little pumpkin:

    For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC880) we’re visiting Urban Owl and their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture.

    For my tag trio card, I die cut the largest out of a maroon card stock and white for the medium tag. I used the fall twig bg image, gold ink and embossed it w/ gold powder. The book and cup image was stamped and colored and I used a little out of the box on the right side when I cut it using the smallest tag die. A gold Krylon pen was used to edge all of the tags and I tied a little bow w/ gold thread thru the smallest one.

    The autumn patterned paper was die cut w/ a curved die and I used some leftover pieces of the double sided paper to cut the 3 leaves.

    Here are the Copics I used:
