Pumpkin Harvest and a Gina K Invitation

Good morning! My card today is a sneak peek at my new stamp set, Heartfelt, that will be released tonight from Gina K Designs.

We have a fun evening planned with chatting, challenges, contest questions and lots of beautiful card projects to share. Gina will reveal the full stamp sets, including a look at the new StampTV Kit, Falling for You.

Hope to see you at the party, here are all the details:

• When: Today, Tuesday, August 2
• Where: StampTV Release Party Forum
• Time: 7 PM to 9 PM (CST)

To make my card, I stamped the pumpkins and colored with Copic markers, starting with YR18.

Then added YR16.

Added YR12 and used my blender pen to soften the highlights that I left uncolored.

I used YG95 on the stems.

Then I used N3 to add some shading around the stems and the bottoms of the pumpkins. After coloring, I cut out the image.

For the fence, I started with E59.

Added E57.

Then added E51, again using my blender pen to soften the highlights.

For the background (approximately 3.25 by 4.5 inches) I sponged Memento Cantaloupe ink.

Then sponged Memento Bamboo Leaves.

Then sponged lightly around the edges with Memento Rich Cocoa.

I drew in some grass with YG93, making quick swipes with my marker, lifting the pen as I swiped to make the blades come to a point as the pen left the paper.

Added more blades of grass with YG95.

I cut out the fence and used Pop Dots to adhere. Actually, I used narrow pieces of the leftover stuff after removing the dots. This was the perfect size for the narrow pickets of the fence. I only added the Pop Dots to the tops of the pickets and adhered the bottom directly to the background.

I added the pumpkin image with Pop Dots, also only at the top and adhering the bottoms directly to the background. I like to do this sometimes, because it really gives a neat dimensional look, almost like a pop up card.

I layered with Pure Luxury Chocolate Brown and used a Fresh Asparagus card base.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a fabulous day!
