All of the new stamps are available now! You can find them all HERE

 

Does everyone love a good pun as much as I do?  Well, the new Gourdous clear stamp set has various gourds as well as sentiments such as "Life is Gourd" as well as "Oh My Gourd!"  Of course, there is also the Gourd-geous sentiment I used on the card.  

To make the card, I colored the pumpkins with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers with a waterbrush on top of Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.

The background papers are stamped using various Cover a Card backgrounds.  Don't you just love making your own patterns?  The card was created with kraft cardstock and the Screen background stamped in Cocoa ink.  The patterned strip was created by first stamping the Denim Cover a Card on cream cardstock with Peach ink and then the Wallpaper Cover a Card was layered on top with Orange ink. I encourage you to try layering different patterns with various colors.  You get such different looks!

Items Used on the Card
CL977 Gourdous
CC274 Screen
CC051 Denim Cover a Card
CC072 Wallpaper Cover a Card
