Katzelkraft - Charme Automnal

Hi everyone, 

It's  Katzelkraft day!

I needed an autumnal card and Katzelkraft had just the thing! The beautiful pumpkin stamps designed by Isa were perfect for my needs. 

To color the pumpkin, I simply pressed a Spiced Marmalade ink pad (Distress ink) onto a piece of acetate. Sprayed water on it and used it to color the area for the pumpkin, just letting the color run on the card. Once dry, I stamped the pumpkin and colored the leaves and grapes with alcohol ink markers. 

I stenciled a leaf pattern with Mowed Lawn (Distress Oxide) and stamped dots along the edge. Covered the pumpkin and splattered purple acrylic paint on the card.

Stamped the text with white on a black strip of cardstock and added it to the bottom.

I die-cut one of the real leaves and stamped the other before cutting it out with scissors.

I did this with freshly picked leaves, as they tend to be brittle when dry. I attached them with foam tape and normal double-sided tape. 

Actually, I needed not one, but twelve cards, as our little craft group organizes a card swap two or three times a year!  - The last one for this year took place last weekend! The theme was fruits and real leaves.

Hope you like it. - See you next Tuesday with a new Katzelkraft inspiration! ;)
