Glittered Pumpkin Card

Hello my Stampin' Friends! 

Today at Stampin' Royalty we have a picture challenge: 

Wish that was my mantle, it even has an owl on it!!!  This picture happens to go really well with the 3 projects I made for my Craft Project Central Tutorial. Since I had already made some home dècor items I thought I would make a pumpkin card.  You know how you can buy those glittery faux pumpkins?  That's the look I was going for with this card.  Be prepared to be dazzzled with all the glitter!!!

Here's how I made it: 

1. Ink an entire 4-1/4" x 11" piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock with VersaMark ink.  Emboss it with Heat and Stick Powder.  Pour on Fine Orange Glitter.  Tap off excess.  Heat set.  Die cut 3 oval using the second to largest smooth oval from the Ovals Collection Framelits. 

2. Die cut an "oval card" by folding a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock in half.Run it through your Big Shot with the largest oval from the Ovals Collection Framelits, so that the oval is mostly on the folded card stock. The top of the oval, where the fold in the card stock is, will hang off the card stock so that you are cutting out an oval shapped card with a fold at the top.  It should look like this...

3. Hand draw a stem on Chocolate Chip card stock and cut it out.  Press your stem into the Versamark pad, emboss it with Heat and Stick powder.  Dip that into brown glitter.Or Iridescent Ice embossing powder can be used in place of Heat and Stick and Brown glitter if you do not have the retired brown glitter.  Repeat the Versamark, Heat and Stick Powder and Glitter process (green glitter) with a piece of Old Olive card stock and then die cut it into a leaf using the Autumn Accents Bigz Die. 

4. Mount the stem to the card base.  Mount the two outside ovals first and the middle oval last. Adhere leaf with Mini Glue Dots.  Take a long piece of Linen Thread, double it over and tie a bow.  Mount that to card front with a Mini Glue dot so that it covers the stem of the leaf. 

6. Die cut two Scribbles Swirls from the Sizzlit by the same name (retired) from Champaigne Glimmer Paper.  Tip: Die cut one with the paper face up and one with the paper face down so they work on the card front.  Mount these to the front of the card with Mini Glue dots, roll them so they fit on the small pieces of the swirls.   

Stamp the Happy Thanksgiving image from the Tags 4 You stamp set on Whisper White Paper with Early Espresso Ink.  Quicly apply Iridescent Ice embossing powder and emboss the image.  Then punch it out with the Label Bracket Punch. Mount this to the card with dimensionals.  

There it is, The Glittered Pumpkin Card!  

Now, let's click over to Stampin' Royalty and see what my fellow desginers have created for this challenge. Feel free to play along with our challenge. 

If you like my pumpkin card you might also like My Paper Pumpkin!  It's a monthly subsription program.  Each month you get a box in the mail with supplies to make the project of the month.  Here is the project from this month.  I got all the stamp, ink, embellishments, paper and envelopes to make 4 cards!  I made the first one for my husband, who just came home from a 2 week course for the Honor Guard.  He completed the difficult class and is now a trainer.  Wahoo!
