A Big Pumpkin for Autumn

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Wednesday!  I hope your week is moving along smoothly and you've found some crafty time.  I managed to get an afternoon of coloring yesterday and decided I needed to color this larger than life Pumpkin from the Halloween Pumpkin Stamp set by Memory Box. 

I recently purchased this set off eBay, it's an older set so not sure if it can be found anywhere else. 


My card measures 5.5" square, so you can see how large this stamped image is.  I've colored using Copic Markers and the patterned papers are from a Harvest paper pad from Scrapbook.com.  The darker background appealed to me and thought it would compliment the bright orange of the pumpkin.


After coloring the image, I fussy cut and popped on foam pads.  I've used a sketch from the Queen & Co. free sketch site.  The sentiment is from a now retired set from Cardz TV, the sentiment was cut using a banner die from My Favorite Things.

No bells or whistles added, except for Wink of Stella added to the acorns and leaves.  WOS never shows on camera and that's a shame because it gives this card the perfect amount of Autumn sparkle.

That's all for today.  Have a fantastic day and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Inspiration Station Challenge #40 - Harvest

Happy Monday Everyone!  I hope your weekend was lovely.  Today starts a new inspiration challenge round at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog.  The inspiration photo for this bi-weekly round is:


For my team project, I've used the A World of Octobers Mini Stamp Set from Picket Fence to create a fun fold card.


I was directly inspired by the pumpkins in the photo. After stamping and coloring the images using alcohol markers, I trimmed in very close to create a mini panel.  I did the same with the sentiment, which is part of this stamp set.



The patterned papers are from the "Celebrate Autumn" 6x6 paper pad from Echo Park.  I left the section behind the front fold blank as a place to write a sentiment.

To complete the design, I've added 2 shades of golden sequins.  I usually forget to create fun fold cards, mainly because I'm always trying to stay ahead of team projects, but I do love them and plan to make time to create more of them.  

Please stop by and join us at The Inspiration Station Challenge.  We always love to see how the photo inspired you.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
