A Pumpkin Background - One Stamp Two Ways Part 2

Welcome back to A Pumpkin Background!  This is my second card using this adorable and fun Pumpkin Background from Rubbernecker Stamps.  You can find my first one here!  On my first one, I colored the entire image in all of its Gourdness!  It really went fairly quickly with a system of just a few color combos that I worked in throughout the piece.

I used those same Copic combos here but die cut just a part of the image, colored only that piece and popped it up over the black and white image.  A cool way to still have the entire background but just spotlight a portion of the image AND save some time for a quicker card!  I love both versions!  

For some reason oranges have seemed to stump me the most for combos, but I love the three combos i used here and I'll definitely use them again.  Basically I used four Copic markers for my pumpkins, YR15, YR27, YR31 and YR68.  I varied between using (27, 68, and 15; just 68 and 15, and then 15 and 31 together).  This allowed me to cluster three different oranges together so all of my pumpkins weren't the same.

  For my purples I combined V15, V17, and BV02-although the BV02 is bluer than the others, I love this combo together!  And then I also used V20, 22, and 25.  And the greens combos are YG01, YG03, and YG17 and then YG61, YG63, and YG67.  All of these purple and green combos are among my faves!

This time I stamped and embossed my Happy Halloween onto one of the banners from the Nested Stitched Banner dies!  The second smallest fits it perfectly!  I added just one web that slid nicely under the banner and my spiders, bats, and sequins again.  This time my frame is a little thinner allowing more of the image to show.

And there you have it!  I hope you enjoyed your stop and maybe gained some inspiration for your creative day!

Be sure to stop soon and often!  I appreciate your visits!

A Pumpkin Background - One Stamp Two Ways Part I

So happy you're here!  Today I'm sharing with you one of two cards I've made using the super fun new Pumpkin Background Stamp from Rubbernecker Stamps.  For this one, I colored the entire background and used it in a design where I made sure that all of that hard work doesn't get covered up! 

To make it interesting but not too crazy, I stuck to a color pallet of greens, oranges, and purples with just a touch of gray.  I chose three different combos of oranges for my pumpkins for slight variations to add interest.  I used two different combos of green for the stems and a third to use on the hats, candles, ghosts, candy and gifts along with two combos of purples.  I used the grays for the spider, bats and bones as well as the little bit of white space.

When I was all done coloring, I created a frame using the Nested Deckle Rectangle dies by placing a smaller one inside the larger one and using washi tape to keep them in place once I felt my edges were even and ran them through my Gemini together.  I attached my colored panel to a card base in black and then popped the frame up over it.  I attached the webs to the inside corners before I added the popup tape to be sure I had enough space to attach them to the back of the frame.

I stamped the Happy Halloween onto black cardstock with Versamark and heat embossed it in white.  Next I fussy cut the sentiment so it would not cover up too much of my background. That was popped up as well and was the perfect place for another web.  Finally I attached the spider and bat die cuts and of course a few sequins!  I added Glossy Accents to the bats, but decided to leave the spider matte.  

This Pumpkin Background is SO fun!  But you don't always have to color the whole thing!  Come back on Monday and I'll be sharing my second card that with the same stamp and a different look.. but still fun and colorful!

I'm playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Fall/Autumn!
