Per usual with me I had about a 100 ideas to create different scenes with, (and believe me I will lol) but I wanted to do something a bit different. I decided to show how you can make a super cute scene without any masking and a limited color palette. I also chose to do a day party just because I always do night. Switching it up can be fun!

I stamped my little Halloween lights and some pumpkins just slightly above the two pumpkins on the ground. This gives the perspective that the pumpkins are behind it. 

I next stamped the Halloween Party Flyer, Cat and Bear in a triangle toward the bottom of the card giving them the perspective of being in the front. The only tricky bit was adding the Halloween banner with hanging pumpkins to the lights. I just adjusted the stamp until it was in-between the lights before stamping it down. 

I added in some more detailed grasses up front and some simple hills and bushes in the background. Using darker colors in the background pushes them into the background allowing the lighter grass to look closer. I added some detail coloring but I left some coloring as one layer too. You don't have to shade it all for a wow card. 

I added a bit of glossy accents and stardust stickles for some fun shine. This was so fun to create. 

I really enjoyed just being able to stamp and color. 

You can see and learn about the entire process in the video below. 

Your next stop on the hop is the fantastic Nancy Sheads

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.
