When I saw her teapot, the first thought that I had was how shiny everything was. To make my pumpkin, leaves and acorns, I scanned some fall clip art onto my computer and I enlarged it to the sizes that I wanted. I then printed them to cardstock. I used my prisma colored pencils to color them and blended them with baby oil. I then used my versamark pad to heat emboss UTEE to give it the shine. My grapes were made with a piece of multi colored purple cardstock. I heat embossed UTEE to give it shine and then I punched the grapes out with my 5/8" circle punch. I highlighted with my white gel pen.
I had this card done yesterday but my internet was down. I was going through withdrawl.

Love all that gloss and shine - especially the leaves. My punched grapes were plan C, plan A was chipboard already in circles (too small) and plan B was the back of a paper pad painted - still too thick for my smaller punches. Yours look lovely and juicy and ready to eat.
