Hint filled...

Viva La Verve Sketches...

and

Color Throwdown Challenge #464

The sketch started me out by cutting white linen card stock for the base card.

To the base card I started stamping the row of pumpkins from Verve Stamps "Tall Oaks" set.

I say started because I had to stop and start on another base card because the Distress pumice stone (taupe) ink would not stick to the stamp...

Hint-use Versamark ink first then the Distress ink.

Once it filled the background of the card I cut a rectangle from black (black) textured card stock.

This was a thick card stock with a white center that left white around the edges...

Hint-use a black marker around the edge.

Next I stamped the single pumpkin from the Verve set using StazOn jet black ink to white linen card stock and colored it with Distress carved pumpkin marker (orange).

I cut this out and didn't like the white around the edge so I used the hint from the black card stock.

(Please note the color challenge colors are in parenthesis)

To continue I cut a strip of white linen card stock and sponged Distress carved pumpkin ink onto it.

To my disappointment it didn't match the pumpkin.

Hint-I found that adding Distress rusty hinge Ink gave it the same color.

I cut a small square of white linen card stock and applied the pumpkin row the same as for the front of the base card.

To finish I glued it all together as per the sketch.
