Masking

The next challenge was to use an oval die and make a pumpkin with it using the masking technique.  Now others in the group were using two different stamps on their cards which I tried at first but ended up trashing so instead what I did was use the same stamp for all my panels but changed up the colors so I have Brown in the center with green on either side ect.

Cam & Chloe - Dot background stamp
Spellbinder - oval die for masking and Distress ink - Carved pumpkin for shading
Poppystamps - Climbing vine die
Spellbinder - Fall Foliage and Labels trio dies
D.R.S. designs - Easy grass background w/mowed lawn distress ink
JoAnn Essentials -emotions vellum sentiment
Stampin up - Black Jewels

Sharing a few pictures I took with my phone while I was making it to show the process of masking to make the pumpkin

You use the oval over the piece you just stamped and then take the negative and move over and stamp again to get the different panels in the pumpkin, after I was done I laid it back on in order to get the shading with the orange ink.

I cut the pumpkin out so I could apply it to my kraft background and grassy area, I popped it up on some foam for dimension as well as the pinecone and some of the leaves.  I used my background I had made earlier using my color bursts. The stem was just hand cut.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
