For my card, I went glam with a patch of pumpkins from the Bountiful Harvest set. I colored with copics, then the leaves in silver and the stems in gold wink of stella pens. Next I covered the pumpkins with glossy glaze and sprinkled with glitter. I embossed the sentiment in gold and used a styled silver metal frame to accent it. A subtle chicken wire embossed background and some broad gold diagonal stripes finishes things off.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I can't wait to hop along and see the bloomin' creations from the other Divas! I hope you'll play along with us too! You can find all the challenge details and linkup info on the Verve Blog.
