I followed the tutorial from SplitCoastStampers here, and added three pumpkins sized at 3 inches, 4 inches and 5 inches. I ungrouped the shadow layer of a pumpkin, and duplicated it. I used a square to slice away the stalk of the pumpkin and then duplicated the resulting shape. I flipped the duplicate pumpkin vertically and welded the two stalkless pumpkins together.
I changed the color of the stalk to green and added a leaf. I repeated this process with the other two pumpkins. Then I decided that I needed a carved face on the pumpkins, so sliced in spooky faces from the Pumpkin Carvings cart. Then I decided that I needed some children in Halloween costumes peeking out besides the pumpkins, so added three characters from the Trick or Treat cart. Enough!!!! One last step was to add "Boo" as the stop for the front card.
Here's the DS file number if you would like to replicate the card. : )

The challenge over at BBTB2 this week is to create a project with imaginary characters. I LOVE what the DT came up with!
The challenge at FCCB is to create a project for a kid. What a fun idea! Pop over and take a look at the creative designs.
Thanks for visiting with me today! : ) Christine

ReplyDeleteWow, this is such a cute card. I think I need to try one of these triple easel cards. The pumpkins and the adorable costumes are so fabulous!!! Thanks for joining us at BBTB2!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! This has got to be one of the cutest cards I have ever seen. I just love your little trick or treaters popping up from behind the pumpkins. Great job and thank you so much for joining us over at FCCB :)
ReplyDeleteJust two days ago I mailed a triple easel card for September Mail Call to Kristina Werner, only my base was from a kit I have, I didn't work at sizes, etc., like you did, but there was some hand cutting involved because I have to do things my way. Love your card and I'll have to open it in DS. You do such a great job of decorating and embellishing. I was going to put one up at FCCB for the current challenge so I'm really glad to know not to duplicate your style. (Did you see I won the last challenge at FCCB? So excited about that.)
ReplyDeleteI am going to take you up on the offer of the card file. I haven't done anything like this and its nice to try new techniques. Your card is sure to put a smile on someone's face - nothing but fun here. thanks for joining bbtb2 this week.
