Measurements: green font panel - 3 1/16 x 4 4/16 ” plus the purple border, stripes –1 ¾ x 4 11/16 ” plus the border, white only image panel - 2 ½ x 2 3/8”, surrounding the image is 1/8” orange border and the purple are 3/32" wide and it’s easier to say they were cut 3/16” inch larger than the panel above it with no border on the outside edge of the green and striped panels.
-Image is colored with Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps and I substitute the oil for Gamsol. Find the technique in the resources forum here at SCS.
-The shadow around the image is done with chalks, cotton swab and blender pen for getting in close and sealing the chalk.
-The out of the box feature is very easy by cutting to the image with the regular paper cutter on the front, marking the image while holding to a light source on the back then use the paper cutter again to cut to the mark. Scissor cut the image out. My paper cutter is a guillotine style.
-I also use a black marker to go around the cut out edge of the pumpkin and also did the same on the white insert around the designer paper portion only.
-Cuttlebug embossing for the large orange panel.
-The image panel is popped up with foam circle dots that my friend Judy found for me - thanks Judy!
-For the embossing folder: I find it hard to attach other panel to some of the embossing patterns and get them to stay stuck! So after embossing I run it through the Cuttlebug again using one A, B and C plate. ItÂ’s still well embossed but flattens it out enough that I no longer have a problem.

Love how he is balancing that pumpkin on his nose.

SOOO cute!! Love the out of box on this one. And thanks for the tip on running the embossed folder thru again to flatten out the embossing enough to attach something on top. I always used the super sticky tape to add additional layers over embossed panels. Thanks for sharing. Peggy
