I love Hero Arts Pumpkin Bunch but I wanted to do a different maybe a more modern take. I wanted to switch up the colors and just the general feel of them. I started by stamping the pumpkins to create some masks. The Color Layering Stencils are a great tool to lay down quick color but the stencils are designed to color are the pumpkins all the same color. The masks allow me to color them all different colors. 


Once I did my stenciling I did go back in with my copic markers to add a bit more shading. I used Hero Arts Gold Paste to add a bit of shine to the detail layer. I die cut the pumpkins and then added two more layers to add some height. For the Background I used the Leaf Circle Stencil to pounce in some Altenew Antique Gold with a sponge dauber on Nautical Cardstock. I then sprinkled on some gold embossing powder and wherever they stuck they stuck. I then heat embossed them until smooth. 


I mounted the entire piece on a Sand card base. I also gold heat embossed my sentiment on the same Sand cardstock. and then die cut it out. 
A craft friend said these pumpkins were giving Cinderella vibes. What do you think?

You can watch the entire card come together in the video below.

Entries will end on September 11th at midnight, mountain time (MST). Winners will be announced on September 13th on the Colorado Craft Company blog.


Soo this little lady is the smallest in the release but she sure did capture my heart. I think sometimes the little guys get overlooked but I promise you they still make great cards. I mean, just look at the sassy bunny strutting across the beach with her adorable bag and fancy glasses. She and I would be friends. 


Because I have my one sassy girl as a focal point I knew I would need to create a lot of interest with my background. Actually, that's how the card started. I was talking to a friend who suggested I make some kind of sand. And that led to creating different textures to add interest. 


To create the textures I used a combination of ink blending and embossing powders. Since I created a little mini scene I stamped the Beach Background in the same blues I used for the ocean and used it as a mat for the scene panel. 


Here is a close up of the sand texture created with the embossing powder. It's really lovely in person. I'll definitely be using it again in the future. 



Thanks so much for stopping by!
