Hello! I'm back with another entry for this week's Challenge at Modsquad which is to use something from nature on a card. We have had this piece of tree bark laying around awhile and I told my DH not to throw it way because some day, maybe, I would use it some how. So this challenge came along and I put a piece of the bark in my design. (I was thinking of seeing pumpkins on display in outdoor areas when I came up with this scene of pumpkins sitting on what might be a log or stump.) I stamped the Pumpkins from GKD Always Autumn set with Memento Tangelo ink on white CS. I colored the pumpkins with Copic Markers. I also stamped a caterpillar and several acorns using stamps from GKD A Year of Leaves set with DOI Walnut stain. I fussy cut these items after coloring with Copics. I also stamped the sentiment and 2 acorns directly on the image panel with same ink. I arranged the small piece of bark under the pumpkins and attached the caterpillar and the cut out acorns. Finished with a card base of GKD Charcoal Brown CS. After making a photo of the card, I decided the card had too much bright white space and went back and added some spatters using Faded Burlap DOI to soften the background. (Covered Pumpkins with masking)

Something to think about - Is it spatters or splatters when you add spots of ink to a card???
Have a great day! I love reading your comments.
