Watercolor Pumpkin Trio ☆ CottageCutz

Welcome friends!

Today I'm sharing a Fall card with watercolored pumpkins using the Harvest Pumpkins and Fall Leaves from the NEW FALL RELEASE! The individual dies in this release are 30% OFF for a limited time!

I followed the Color Challenge at SCS this week which was

Pebbled Path

Lost Lagoon

Wild Wheat

*I substituted Pretty Peacock for Lost Lagoon

Dessert Option is to Add a Border! I added a top and bottom border to the Plaid paper with the Wild Wheat cardstock... and I also added a Wacky Stitched Die border to the smaller white focal piece.

DESIGN STEPS:

• Cut card base 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"

• Cut a piece of white cardstock at 5-1/2" x 4-1/4"

• Cut a piece of Wild Wheat at 3-1/4" x 5-1/2"

• Cut a piece of patterned paper at 3-1/8" x 5-1/2"

I stamped a sentiment in bottom right corner of my white panel and then I dry embossed it.

I die cut the Harvest Pumpkins from a watercolor cardstock, and the Fall Leaves from the 3 challenge colors. I then watercolored my pumpkins with Pretty Peacock classic ink and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks, and the leaves in Vintage Photo D.O. ink.

I cut my main focal piece from white cardstock at 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" then I dry embossed it with the same folder as the larger white panel. I then decided I wanted to create a border and flatten out the leaves a bit for a more subtle texture, so I used the largest Nested Wacky Stitched Rectangle and cut it as shown, then cut just the other long edge.
