Whimsy Pumpkin


Happy Wednesday!


I hope this card finds everyone having a wonderful day! I am busy getting ready for my Copic class on Saturday. You should see my studio floor, there are little piles everywhere. :) I am a bit retentive when it comes to packing kits, so it is a job I have to do by myself. I wouldn't want to run any of my pals off by letting them help.

This adorable (okay, I think it's adorable) card was created for the Monday Color challenge STVCC30 on at StampTV. The challenge was to use the colors: Pumpkin Spice, Green Apple and So Saffron and a neutral. I didn't have So Saffron cardstock, so I picked a nice harvest yellow from the same DCWV pad that I used a couple of days ago. I am bound and determined to use it up! The print cardstock is from Basic Grey's Marrakesh collection.

The card is 4-Bar in size (3 1/2 x 5) and has like a bazillion layers! This cute little pumpkin is from the Whimsical Autumn set and was inked up with Adirondack Espresso for the top of the pumpkin, Memento Potter's Clay for the pumpkin and Memento Bamboo Leaves for the vines. The pumpkin was colored with Y34, YR04 and YR07 Copic markers. All of the oval layers were cut with Classic Oval and Classic Scallop Oval Nesties. I finished off the card with some natural woven ribbon and a few buttons from Foo Fa La. I think that glittery orange button is cool and funky. It has a hole in the middle that was just perfect for the yellow button. The interior of the buttons were finished off with some twine.

Enjoy today!
