Here’s the first Paper Pumpkin November 2016 Alternate, using just two of the die cuts – so that’s my next challenge I think, make a card using the third. My sister is away on vacation and although she photographed her planned cards, she didn’t upload them. Neither does she have any supplies with her so she’s revisiting some of her old cards. Her post yesterday reminded me of the fun you can have with sponges and water so it inspired me to make a dramatic background for my die cuts.

I started with some blushing bride and sponged that over the middle of the card. Next up was marina mist and then night of navy. Once I was happy with the colours, I lightly spritzed the card and then put it under a wooden stamp set to dry flat. I trimmed the front die cut so that the slope went to the ground because I’m making a full sized card whereas the kit ones are a bit smaller. Next I glued down one of the die cuts and then popped the other up with dimensionals. After putting this onto a night of navy card base, I thought I was done. But overnight, I decided that I needed a star. This one is cut from silver foil using the Starlight Thinlits dies.
