Hello Gourdgeous for Addicted to CAS #122
14 October 2017
Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday.
It's the fabulous Bobby's turn to host our challenge this week and she has a great code word for us:
The design team have created some fabulous cards as inspiration for you, including our very talented guest designer - Kathy.
I hope you will join us and play along this week and our amazing sponsor - Create a Smile has another generous prize for the winner.
Luckily, my Hero Arts September card kit had arrived and contained some pumpkins, so I had a set that I could use for my card. This is another card going to the Cards for Hospitalized Kids/Card Care Connection and I thought the sentiment that came with the kit was really fun.
I stamped my pumpkins and die cut them. I arranged them and then added a little glimmer from my gel pen. A little glitter seems to help everything :-)
I love how cleanly the dies cut around the pumpkin and elements. I put the focal element onto a textured card base and the sentiment was heat set with gold embossing powder.
I adhered the big pumpkin directly to the focal layer, but popped up the smaller pumpkin with foam dots. I did the same with the leaf.
I'll be back tomorrow with my Paper Players card. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee

Your pumpkins are gorgeous, Jaydee! I love how you added dimension with your coloring and texture with your gel pen! Great idea to use textured cardstock for your card base, too...Such a lovely autumn card!

Prettiest pumpkins I have seen thus far.
Simple but yet a very lovely Fall card and cute sentiment to go along with.

I can't resist a good pun, Jaydee, and I love the veins accented with the glitter pen.
