Hello and happy weekend! Today I am hopping along with the CSS Alumni Design Team from StampTV. The CSS Team are an amazing group of talented designers that feature Gina K stamps in a blog hop each month. This month
Melanie Muenchinger and I asked them to do a special hop featuring some of our illustrations. Be sure to check out what this fabulous group of designers have come up with.
And be sure to leave comments along the way for a
chance to win! I'll be
giving away my Country Roads stamp set to one person be chosen randomly from the comments from all the blogs. And there are two chances to win, because Melanie has a stamp you can win, as well.
Check out all the wonderful inspiration...

I started by stamping the pumpkins, from Hearfelt, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I used Copic markers to color, beginning with YR68.
Added YR65.
Then I went over the orange with Y17 to make them a little brighter.
Then filled in with YR61.
For the stems, I used YG97 and blender pen. After coloring, I cut out the pumpkins.
For the background, I sponged Memento Cantaloupe ink on white card stock.
Then sponged Memento Bamboo Leaves.
Next, I sponged Memento Morocco around the edges.
Using the windmill, from Country Roads, I inked with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, stamped off on scratch paper once, then stamped the image on my background.
Using the larger foliage image, I stamped several times with Memento Bamboo Leaves.
Then used the smaller foliage, stamping with Memento Bamboo Leaves, also.
I layered with Pure Luxury Chocolate Brown, Fresh Asparagus and Honey Mustard, crimping the Honey Mustard layer, with my paper crimper, before adhering. The card base is Pure Luxury Sweet Corn,
5 ½ by 4 ¼ inches. The pumpkins were adhered with Pop Dots and I stamped the sentiment with Memento Morocco.
