Did you know there is a WORLD CARD MAKING Day???

If we can have a National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day (January 3rd), National Licorice Day (April 12th), National Bubble Bath Day (January 8th) and National Pancake Day (September 29th), just to name a few special days, then paper crafters can have a World Card Making Day!WCMD is next Saturday, October 4th. The festivities will be sponsored by PaperCrafts Magazine and they will be going on here, but you are going to want to check in at my blog too since I will have a neat giveaway. I'll talk more about this special day during the next week.

I am adjusting to the fact that FALL is upon us and so I thought I would show off a card today that is very fall related. You have to remember that I live in Southern California and it is pretty much just like any other summer day here right now!

I just love the mosaic look of this pumpkin stamp. I wanted you to see a close-up of the design in it and the way that I colored it.
I took my Marvy markers directly to the rubber and used a few different shades. When you do this, you just start with the lightest color you want to use. Then add a few coordinating shades of markers here and there. I spritzed the image with water when I had it all colored and stamped it.
Thank you for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
