PUMPKIN, PUMPKIN


Spent some time this weekend having a play with a pumpkin stamp as a background.  Wasn't thinking about what exactly where I was going with it, so just stamped it on white 110# cs and embossed in black.  Not a very good choice when I decided to use it with watercolor and ink smooshing.




Used TH watercolor pencils for the first card and DI inks for the other two.  Spatter and sequins were added for a little glitz.  Since I had so much warping from the water, I backed them with a few layers of cardstock and then ran thru my Gemini to flatten - worked really well.

I am entering two of them in LaVon's LOVE Challenge for this month.

Thanks for stopping by.

MUM'S THE WORD

This week's TicTacToe board #256 was created for you by Karen.  I chose down the left side with fall, embossing and layers.


I used HoneyBee's mum layered flower with Altenew's brick wall as the embossed background.  My flower was die cut from various yellow papers and added shading with yellow inks.  For the leaves I used some patterned paper from Crafter's Companion and also added some shading with ink blending.

Hope to see your card at TTT this week - you have until 26 September to enter!  Crafty Hugs,
