Hello Crafters!

There’s been lots of fall inspiration here on the blog lately. The design team has been loving the new Pumpkin Patch stamp set and I’m no exception!

I wanted to look at a few different color combinations you can use to shade your pumpkins with Copic Markers. I think we often get stuck in ruts with the colors we choose but sometimes you can get a wonderful surprise from trying something new! I actually used shades of browns, yellows, and reds to add depth and dimension to my pumpkins.

I started by building my scene using masks I had a cut. This is the easiest way for me to move all the pieces around for placement. Since I’ll need all the masks to do the distress inking in the background they serve a duel purpose!

Once I have the masks in place I line up the stamps in my MISTI and remove the masks. I stamp front (leaves and acorns) to back (flowers) so that all my layers make sense. I opted for violet flowers instead of the traditional yellow because I knew it would pop against the orange. It’s okay if your buttercups aren’t yellow, it’s your card!

You can check out the entire process in the video below.

Like I said in the beginning the design team has been rocking these pumpkins. You can check out Jess’s video here, Alberto’s card here and last but not least Leanne’s card here. We can’t wait to see what you do with them! Happy Fall Ya’ll 🙂
