Thanksgiving Gratitude

My photo doesn't do this card justice!  It is very sparkly in person.  


The pumpkin is a metal stencil from Dreamweavers.  I used their copper embossing paste over the stencil and then removed the stencil.  Be sure to place the stencil immediately in water so the paste doesn't dry.  I then sprinkled copper embossing powder over the wet paste and heat with a heat tool.  The paste will bubble which in this case was the look I was going for.  

The sentiment is from Close to My Heart and the designer paper is from Prima.  All was layered onto shimmery copper card stock.  The copper leaf in the corner is a brad.

I will be entering this card at Simon Says Monday challenge.  I made several variations of this card using this stencil and copper paste.  I added gold glitter shards, champagne embossing powder and orange embossing powder.

Foxy Fall

Switching gears here from Halloween to autumn cards.  I'm following a sketch provided by one of our stamp club members for November.  I will also be sharing this card over at Simon Says Monday Challenge - All Creatures Great and Small.


The designer paper is new from Bo Bunny.  The fox and sentiment stamps are also new from Hero Arts and is a clear stamp set including a smaller fox and additional sentiments.  If you buy the set as a kit, you also receive the inks and matching dies.  The oval die cut is from Gina Marie.
