*The background tile panels are done in the polished stone technique with alcohol inks then stamped in black.
*The pumpkins are: large - small oval punch, medium - ½” circle punch, small - ¼” circle punch and yes I had to much time on my hands on a rainy day! But I like my mini pumpkin!
I first stamped the orange with the Weathered background, toned down the orange color with Tea Dye, edge distressed with Vintage Photo on the two larger ones. With a Close to Cocoa marker I went around the edge of each of the small pumpkin circles and around the two larger pumpkins after they were assembled.
*The two middle pieces on each pumpkin was cut down in width before assembly with glue and a straight pen for application.
*The stems are freehand cut with a little marker work at the top then glued to the pumpkin back.
* The wire is shaped then single sided taped to the back – if it sticks up just bend the wire with the pumpkin backwards and it’ll lie down where it belongs.
*The large pumpkin is glued to the purple panel, the medium and small pumpkin each have either ¼” or 1/8” circles punches glue in a stack behind them so they lie even on the card.
*I didnÂ’t time myself but I would say it took about twenty minutes to get the pumpkins built and attached to the card.

You are amazing, Rox! Not only do you make gorgeous cards, but you are so good about sharing and explaining how you do them. I LOVE your gorgeous pumpkin card, especially with the addition of the copper wire. Your polished stone is stunning, and I love the blend of the lovely textured paper. Into my faves for casing!
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
