Sorry I've been missing this past week. I was pretty sick ~ another attack of my Gastroparesis and I have not done much other than go to work and come home and get into bed. But I feeling much better now.
Lexi gave the Saltbox Design Team this really fun challenge last week. During our sneak peek week this month Lexi made this great card. Well she thought it would be fun to see how the Design Team would turn the tall pumpkin from the Pumpkin Oak set into a Jack O' Lantern.
Well I also added the small pumpkin from the Give Thanks set to make a little Jack O' Lantern pair. First I stamped the small pumpkin, masked it and then stamped the tall pumpkin, both in Versafine Onyx Black ink. The images were colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. October is from the Fall Banner set. I used my rectangle Nestabilities Dies to cut out the layers, which are up on foam tape. The black kitchen notecard and sheer orange crush ribbon are both from A Muse. I tried my hand at a little shading around my jack o' lanterns. It came out okay but I think I need some more practice! It's always fun to try new things!
