Hello friends~ It feels like it's been a long time since I've posted on the Dies R Us blog but we're right on schedule ! There are so many fun fall dies at the Dies R Us online store it's hard to choose which ones go in the cart when I really want them all!
For this card, I started by creating the background using some various landscape dies, cutting the hills out of two different shades of green. The sky is a piece of printed scrapbook paper. It made the perfect sky, don't you think? Once the layers were in place I cut the whole panel using the largest Lawn Fawn's Large Cross Stitched Rectangles. I love using this die when I don't want a border around the main panel. It cuts the size perfectly to fit an A2 sized card. I went on to add two of the Country Fences from Impression Obsession. Cheery Lynn's Spooky Tree made the perfect backdrop for these funny little pumpkins from Impression Obsession.
I added some detail lines and shading to the pumpkins with colored pencils and a gel pen for their eyes. The little swirly fronds coming off the big guy are from Quickuts. I popped the big guy up using some foam dots to give it some dimension.
Today's Tip: Add detail and color to your dies using markers, pencils and gel pens. It really brings your dies to life!
Here is a list of products I used that can be found in the Dies R Us Store:
