Nature's Gold (Easy Watercolor)

 Greetings, 

Fall has officially arrived in upstate NY.  The leaves here are colorful and dancing in the wind.  I'm sad to see summer fade, but the beauty that fall brings is spectacular.  I wanted to celebrate that color in today's  card. 

I used dye ink pads to watercolor this pumpkins.  Any dye ink pads can be used they do not need to be this brand of ink.   

Materials:

Carved Pumpkin 
Ripe Persimmon
Peacock Feathers 
Watercolor Mat 
Pumpkin stamp by Unity stamps

Fossilized Amber 

Water pen 

You can watch how I made this card here.  If you reading this in your email they video will not play.  You need to go to youtube or the blog to watch.

Hi Pumpkin!

Welcome back!

 I've been alternating between Fall and Halloween cards. I've been having a blast making both. Today's card features an old Penny Black stamp. Sadly, I think it is retired. You might have some luck on ebay. 

 I sponged some black ink onto my orange cardstock. I'm not sure I would do this again if I were to remake this card. Originally, I thought the orange was too bright and wanted to make it feel a little spooky. It did make the cat the focus of the card.  In the end it looks okay. I'm still debating if I liked the bright orange or the dusty orange. What do you think?

Hello pumpkin

 Greetings,

I'm back to day with my favorite pumpkin stamp.  It is a layering stamp from Strawberry Jude.   I seem to drag this stamp set out every Fall.   If you want to see the cards I've made in past years, you can click on the links below. 

Birthday Pumpkin

Pumpkin Patch

Check out how awesome this pumpkin looks!  I kept the card really simple, so the focus will be on the pumpkin.   I'd love to hear what pumpkin card is your favorite of the three times I've used this stamp.
