March 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit: May Good Things Grow

Hi Everybody! Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Today I've got a card that I've made as an alternate to the March 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit called "May Good Things Grow." I've been having fun making alternate projects with kit and you'll see more of what I made over the next week.

I used a Very Vanilla card base with a mat that I embossed with the Garden Trellis Embossing Folder.  I used the gorgeous wood embellishments that came as a free gift in the Paper Pumpkin kit this month embellish my card. These wooden embellishments have a beautiful, natural wood finish but I glammed them up a bit by heat embossing them in gold. To do this I pressed the wooden embellishments into my Versamark ink pad. Then I poured gold embossing powder over them. I used tweezers to hang on to them when I used my heat tool so that I wouldn't burn my fingers. Both the flowers and golden leaves hanging out in the background were from the free gift pack. I used a stamp from the kit, a fun die cut from the kit (I sponged the die cut), the twine and gorgeous pearl embellishments from the kit to make the centerpiece for this card.

The vintage rose background paper, Fresh Fig ribbon and cool, brass brad are also from the Paper Pumpkin kit! I added a circle of watercolor paper that I cut out with my stitched circle framelits and added some color to it with Fresh Fig ink and my aqua painter. I also splattered some ink onto the Very Vanilla background so that it wasn't quite so vanilla.
