Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Glittery Gourds

Hi Everyone! Thanks for stopping by my blog!  It is time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Glittery Gourds. 

I hope you get a chance to play along. The LEAD of this challenge will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge.


Here is my take of the challenge using Taylored Expressions Pumpkin Bouquet Stamp Set and coordinating Pumpkin Bouquet Dies. 


Inspired by the gold in the inspiration photo I stamped the image in Golden Glitz Delicate Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. I also embossed on the sentiments from the stamp set. The sentiment is die cut with the Stitched Bracket Stacklets. 


I colored with Copic Markers using some rich fall colors. The papers are from the Echo Park 6 x 6 Pad, Fall is in the Air. I finished off the card with a few gold sequins and gold cording. 


At this time of year I like to take the time to finish off the insides of my cards so they are ready to go!
