Wonderful colors today! Perfect for a fall card & since that was dessert, I guess I'm all in. For my autumn/Thanksgiving themed card, I started w/ the cute little pumpkins. Yeah, I know just stamping & coloring would be the normal way to go. SighÂ…but I remembered seeing some pumpkins w/ another image on top & that stuck in my head. Once stuck, itÂ’s there until I try it.
I did some doodling, masking, etc, but finally decided on masking the bottom & stamping a solid leaf w/ brown ink on top of the pumpkin. The brown stamped leaf on the top of the pumpkin didnÂ’t work out so well, so I went over it w/ a white gel pen & added the dots.
For the bg, I stamped the sunflowers in the upper corner & the leaves in the lower left. I had to do a little out of the box to keep them intact. And while I was at it, I also cut around the parts that went into the main image so I could lift them on top. SighÂ…I know it would be simpler to just do them separately & glue on top. But apparently I like to choose the road less traveled. Or the one that needs a machete to get through, lol.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, Copic colors & my "practice sheet" are on my blog: The Write Stuff
