Hey Pumpkin Mood Board

9/13/2022

0 Comments

 
Hello crafty readers!  Happy September and the start of fall, which is my favorite season of the year.  Give me all the cool mornings, warm sweaters and yes, pumpkin spice e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g!  Today I am on the Joy Clair Designs blog sharing a card that I designed that was inspired by the colors of this month's mood board.  If you missed last week's initial post, here is this month's mood board:

Mood boards (also commonly called "inspiration" boards) are a combination of colors, images, textures and patterns that can offer guidance or direction.  If you feel like you don't know where to begin a project, try looking at a mood board and let the creative juices flow.  You just might be surprised by what you create!
​
Here is the card I created that was inspired by both the colors of the mood board and the fall scenes:

Card details:

​The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  This is the ONLY white cardstock I use.  It's perfect for everything from stamping, Copic coloring, distress ink blending, cardstock bases, die cutting.  All the things! I cut a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of white cardstock and ran it through my Big Shot using a leaf embossing folder.  This was the first layer of my card.  I stamped the beautiful pumpkin image from the Hey Pumpkin stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock.  I colored the image using Copic markers and then fussy cut the image out.  I adhered the image to the card using Scotch 3M foam adhesive.  I stamped the sentiment "Grateful for you" in Versamark ink on a strip white cardstock. I heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder.  I notched the ends of the sentiment strip at an angle and adhered the sentiment over the pumpkins.  The sentiment is from the Fall Greetings stamp set.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card.  Thank you for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

XO, Crystal
