My Favorite Things Card Design Superstar Contest – entry 1

12 Sep

This is my third post for today!  For the Lil’ Inker Designs September release post and giveaway please click here!  For my Lawnscaping solo post please scroll down or click here.

Good afternoon!  Have you heard about MFT’s Card Design Superstar Contest?  I entered last year and had a lot of fun so I thought I’d give it a try again!  Here’s my first entry!

When I saw those Spooky Sweets pumpkin stamps I knew they’d be perfect for a pumpkin spice latte themed card! 🙂 I stamped the pumpkins with two shades of orange ink using the rock and roll technique and die-cut them with the coordinating dies.

Next I die-cut the mug and whipped cream and added a little shading (and cinnamon sprinkles!) with copic markers.  I also die-cut the fancy flourish from green cardstock to give the impression of a pumpkin vine.  I layered them all together on my kraft cardbase.  For the sentiment I cut apart one of the Spooky Sweet sentiments and paired it with a sentiment from Hug in a Mug.  I stamped them on vellum and heat-embossed them with gold embossing powder.  I die-cut the vellum with the stitched fishtail banner and adhered it to my card with vellum adhesive.

The perfect way to celebrate my love of pumpkin spice lattes! 😉  Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful day!

    Using the flourish for steam is such a genius idea. Really cute pumpkin card.
