PTI Sept 2018 Blog Hop

It't time for Papertrey Ink's monthly blog hop, and we had this lovely fall photo as inspiration.

Since I don't own any pumpkin stamps (I know!!! I'll have to remedy that), I just went with the colours from the photo, the plaid tablecloth, and a general Thanksgiving theme.
A simple, retro-styled card, with an old, but much loved stamp.

All materials are PTI. Thanks for looking!!

Stamps:Sunflower Bouquet (and die)

Other: Sennelier watercolours, stickles for the flower centers, Chicken Scratch dp, Kraft and Chocolate inks.

PTI MIM # 336 Faux Gilded Leaves

Laurie S. showed us some beautiful cards made with embossing powders and Leaf Prints stamp and dies. I love that set, so decided to use the smaller of the "maple" leaves to create my card. I used the Pinked Edge Mat and 3 embossing powders: gold, platinum and copper. I used the copper powder to double emboss the veins on the leaves, as well as to apply powder around the edge of the matted layer of cardstock, to match the leaves and sentiment (Banner Sentiments). I sprinkled a little Heidi Swapp gold spray, but it kind of blobbed out, rather than a fine spray. Oh, well...

A close up of the embossing powders used.

A fun challenge! Thanks, Laurie!
