Turkeys and Pumpkins - Signs of Fall

I love things related to fall. The leaves, the colors, pumpkins and even turkeys! You will be surprised that I was even able to include a cupcake in the mix!

If you visited my blog earlier this week, you know that Inky Antics was the sponsor for Card Postioning Systems this whole week. I wanted to get more use from the cute set they sent me so I created another card. The circle shape is a Nestabilities and the background paper is a text print and I added a whole lot of ink from Chalk stamp pads and I also stamped the Hero Arts cloud stamp over that.

My turkey and pumpkin were colored with Copic markers and then I gave the pumpkin a good coat of Crackle coat. You can see what a fun look that gave.

The design for this card is the Unscripted Sketch #25 for this week, I just turned it on it's side. And, here is where the cupcake comes in. I love this cupcake from Pink Persimmon. It can be used for so many occasions. These papers were completely irresistable. I used a few different prints and even the reverse sides of those patterns because they all go together so wonderfully. I stamped the cupcake on two different papers and then cut all of those out to create my decorated cupcake paper and frosting.

I pulled out the little pumpkin stamp from Little Red Wagon set. That is really a little set of three pumpkins and they are meant to be stamped into the wagon, but I stamped that and just cut off the side pumpkins, making it just the right topping to my cupcake to fit in for Halloween. I colored my pumpkin with Copic markers and then coated the pumpkin with Aleene's Paper Glaze for an epoxy look.
