Congrats to Tesa, our newest Featured Stamper! So many in her gallery I'd love to case and I finally picked THIS one. I kept the fall theme and layout, but I used different images and made mine an A2 card instead of square.
After stamping and die cutting the pumpkin, I colored it with Copics, keeping it in the gold and browns. I added a bit of stickles to some of the flower centers. For the leaf background, I stamped the individual leaves w/ the cocoa ink onto a butter yellow square, added some lt brown to them w/ Copics, then used the distress inks & butterscotch ink to sponge in from the edges. I matted it onto another butter yellow square that I used a pair of mini pinking scissors around the edges. The greeting and white leaves were stamped w/ the chestnut ink and I added a few sequins in place of the gems. Copics used: E07, E11, E23, E33, E51, Y13, Y21, Y23, YR12, YR14, YR21, YR23, YR24.
Congrats again, Tesa! Enjoy your week! Thank so much for looking. My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.
