Had no intentions of making a card today. I am still sewing "things" for DD before she pops out that little boy, which btw should be soon! hehe Today I was supposed to be sewing her diaper bag, but checked out the IC site and well the rest is history......
I was inspired by this pumpkin mainly because I saw a technique on Pinterest and wanted to try it. So today I did.
Here's is what I did. On w/c paper I drew the pumpkins using glossy accents since I didn't have clear glue. After that dried, I traced around all the lines with a fine tip sharpie. Then took w/c paints and painted my scene.
Cut my panel out, distressed the edges and then sponged them with tea dye. Then sprayed with Goosebumps, something I also had been wanting to try so I did.
Put this all on a blue card adding the three buttons.
What fun! Not only did I make a card for today which I have been falling behind in doing, but I also tried two things that have been rattling in my head for awhile. Whoo Hoo!..........TFL :0)

Wow! Really cool card! Okay, what in the world are Goosebumps..besides kids scarey books and things you get on your arms when you are cold? I think you were genius to think of Glossy Accents to use as a substitute!!! Love your water coloring! That orange looks especially nice with the blue background! Cute tiny buttons too! I may have to try this too! REALLY awesome card!!!

Fabulous card filled with many wonderful techniques, Cathy! You drew the pumpkins? When are you going to start designing your own stamps! LOL! I've had a bottle of Goosebumps for a while and haven't had the courage to try it out...maybe now I will! Thanks for sharing!

really cool card
I tried the trick with the glue and then painting it, and actually did a whole painting using SU coneflower stamp as inspiration. Didn't turn out that great but your pumpkins with the revisions, look awesome!
