Hello! Below is a second entry for this month's Crafty Secrets Linky Party. My husband poked fun at me for this one because of the honeycomb background, claiming there should be a bee involved instead of a pumpkin! He's probably right but I like how it turned out regardless.
The honeycomb was created using Tim Holtz' layering stencils. I am a novice with them but have really enjoyed the different looks that can be created. Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge, Mustard Seed, and Walnut Stain distress inks were used to color the background and leaves (cut from Tim Holtz' Tattered Leaves Die). I used Copper and Gold Paint Dabbers to add a touch of glimmer here and there.
The two flourish stamps were both from Crafty Secrets. The one on the top left corner is from their 'Halloween Fun' Stamp Set and the bottom right flourish is from their 'Mini Memories' collection.
I embellished the pumpkin using Martha Stewart Glitter in Espresso. The 'Give Thanks' stamp is from Close to My Heart.
Thanks for looking!
Aren't husbands just the greatest at giving advice. Oh well it's all part of nature, honeycombs, pumpkins, leaves; it's all good and I agree it looks great. Thanks so much for joining us at the October Linky Party.
