Sorry about being late again today ladies. Another sick child. I was telling Cathy how sick kids really slow down my getting to my computer....
On to the teaparty. I saw this cute little pumpkin teapot when I was looking for inspiration. So today we are going to have our teaparty in the pumpkin patch. Make sure you bundle up. It might be a little chilly.
To make my pumpkin, I traced 3 overlapping circles on the back of a piece of yellow cardstock. I then cut stripes of paper to make masks. I then brayered over the masks to add orange and brown to the pumpkin. I also used itty bitty background to add some texture. I drew the vine and added cut out leaves. I outlined the leaves with prisma colored pencils.
If you want to come to the teaparty all you need to do is add MMMY3 in the keywords section.
