October has arrived and that means it's time for a new challenge at the Four Seasons challenge blog. We're of course still in full autumn mode with another optional moodboard for your inspiration. The challenge runs until October 25th evening US time and hope to see you there!!
And here is what I made:
The star of the card is the cute Pipspell from Lavinia Stamps. I masked off the Christmas lantern and instead stamped a Pixie Lantern in its place as Pipspell is taking a walk in the pumpkin patch on this card. I used Tracy Evans' stamp set Myriad of Designs for the pumpkins, ivy leaves and blackbirds. The sentiment is also from Tracy Evans, part of the set Framed Delights. The dark green ink pad smeared a little bit on the left side when I stamped the ivy leaves so I decided to use Lavinia Stamps Texture 2 along part of the sides and the bottom so it looks intentional and not like a smudge.
For the background I used a circle to mask off a moon shape and also used a flourish type stencil for some interest on the background. (That was all done before stamping the images.) The edges were distressed with scissors before adhering to a brown card base.
Below is our wonderful moodboard. As you can see I was mainly inspired by the bottom right image of pumpkins and the lantern was why I chose Pipspell with a lantern :) You can also see some leaves around the pumpkins if you look really close at that image. I did originally want to add a fence but that didn't work out as I wanted to so I left it off.
