WSC20 - Lockhart Pumpkins

It's time for another one of Beate's weekend sketch challenges .(< click that link to see the sketch)!  I'm still on my Fall pumpkins kick, so I used this adorable Pumpkins in Wheelbarrow by Lockhart Stamp Company.

I started by stamping the pumpkins on shimmer white cardstock in umber permanent ink and watercolored the image with dye reinkers.  I really like watercoloring on shimmer paper -- it gives such a professional finish to an image, in my opinion.  Here's a close-up . . . hopefully you'll be able to see how pretty it is (click on the photo for a larger view):

The background of this image and the edges were lightly sponged with caramel ink, to tone down some of the bright whiteness.  Then the image was matted with chocolate cardstock and popped up with dimensionals.

The A2-sized card base is rust, to match the printed designer paper.  The brown paper square was machine stitched to the card base and the lower left corner stitched as well.

Antique brass brads and chocolate taffeta ribbon finish this card.
