i painted these pumpkins with acrylic paint plus an all purpose sealer so it sticks, then varnished heavily. the pumpkins last a very long time.
the lady i made these for wants them out for thanksgiving also so the tags say "autumn days" and "happy harvest". I have done them two sided before with halloween wishes on the other side. then pumpkins can be turned around for november. the background leaf is stamped with the scroll from "priceless" set and rubbed with a versamark pad to give it depth.
i mix the sealer in with my paint 1:1 for the basecoat. then for additional coats, as long as i am covering the same area, i use straight paint. the sealer i use is jo sonja's all purpose sealer.
