Welcome to day 1 of the Impression Obsession Fall/Winter Release Designer Hop. We have some beautiful new stamps to share and gift certificates to give away each day!!! You will want to hop on over to the Impression Obsession blog to get all the details. I know you are going to love all the team projects you are going to see this week.
Today’s hop list!
My project today was made using the new Weathered Wood and Pumpkin Pair. I paired them with the Large Fence, Tall Grass, Small Leaf Set, Grass Border and Small Grass Border.
I started by stamping the wood image on brown cardstock with versa and heat embossing with white embossing powder. Pouf! Instant vintage age wood. I wanted the fence be tall enough to pair with the pumpkins. I cut two fence sections, cut the top pickets off of one and attached to the second section to create a tall fence. I added a board section across the center of the fence to cover where two fences were joined. I added a second board across the top to match the center board.
I stamped the pumpkins twice in brown pigment ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I painted them using reinkers and a waterbrush and cut them out to pop up in front of the fence. I cut a third pumpkin to create a more interesting arrangement. I cut the small leaves and painted them with reinkers.
I attached the fence to the card base with mounting tape and attached the tall grass sections to the fence with glossy accents. I attached the pumpkins in place with mounting tape. I attached the grass borders together with ATG adhesive and then to the base with mounting tape. I wanted the leaves to look they were just falling off the tree and floating to the ground. I attached them with glossy accents.
Thanks for coming by and I hope you enjoy the blog hop.
Card size: 5.50” x 4.25”

Hi Kittie~ I usually look at your beautiful cards everyday in my morning e-mail so I don't often comment but I just had to come on here this morning to let you know how stunning this festive fall, pumpkin card is! I love fall and I love pumpkins and everything about fall. Your card just hit the nail on the head and now has me looking forward to the arrival of cooler days and warm, wooly sweaters.

Love this weathered wood and pumpkin design! I shall try to do this one, and hoping I can successfully make the leaves look like yours....never tried the reinker technique. Thank you!
Posted by: Mary | July 28, 2014 at 09:59 AM
Your work never disappoints me and I use it often for inspiration. I can see that these stamps need to go on my 'must get' list right away! And to see the pumpkins stamped in brown ink with clear embossing powder is so much nicer than it would have been in black.
Posted by: SusanK | July 28, 2014 at 10:00 AM
Fabulous aged wood Kittie! Love your scene! Thx for the chance to win!
Posted by: Pam Sparks | July 28, 2014 at 10:09 AM

Posted by: Lisa J | July 28, 2014 at 10:20 AM
I LOVE how you made this bigger fence and the extra pumpkin in the arrangement is spot on. Another addition to my wish list-pumpkin stamps, oh, boy! I have the fence, but would never have thought to make it larger in this way. Thanks for the inspiration you always provide. Hugs
