We have a new theme for "Pumpkin" at Everybody Art Challenge and we would love to see your creations. Do check out the wonderful inspiration from my teamies and share some love with the Design Team by leaving comments on their blogs.
I made one of these pumpkins at an evening class in Farnham, Surrey, England with a lovely, friendly and uber talented lady called Anna - the proprietor of a company delightfully (and aptly) called Quirk & Whimsy - where I tried my hand for the very first time at felting. That was 4 years ago and although I wrote a post for my lone pumpkin, I never actually published it.
I also grabbed some Alcohol Markers and this fabulous "Jack O'Lantern" image from the wonderful Mo Manning of Mo’s Digital Pencil which is available in her shop here. I framed this cutie in a bold orange card stock, coloured and punched some leaves and added a die cut broom and railings, a piece of twine and a little Stampin Up "Boo" sentiment. I don't usually make Halloween cards but this little guy inspired me
There is a Facebook page where members can upload their Mo Manning creations and we look forward to seeing you there. It's easy to become a member. Just click HERE. And check out Mo's other sites where there is lots of inspiration from my teamies.
I am entering my card into the following challenges:
Aud Sentiments #306 Ink Blending (the black background is a combination of alcohol markers and Memento ink blended around the outside) or a Fall or Thanksgiving Sentiment (for which I have used "Boo"
CD Sunday Plus - #121 Anything Digital Goes
Cupcake Inspirations - #580 - Halloween fun
Four Seasons - October Fall
Passion for Markers #711 - Green Blue Purple (which goes so well with orange!)
Tic Tac Toe #230, I used the mid row Autumn colours, die cut & frame (but also the first row which additionally included leaves and twine)
Edited to add my joy in discovering this card was in the team picks at Tic Tac Toe! Thank you!
