The Observation Car

I wanted words, and dimensional flowers, but felt like I needed a large leaf or pumpkin, or some fall related item to go with them.  Below is the card I came up with.  First I stamped the pumpkin from an Impression Obsession clear stamp set.  Then I stamped it on scrap paper and cut out.  Cut on the lines or a little bit inside.  If you leave paper around the image, you’ll get a halo when you mask.  Attach  this scrap pumpkin over the stamped image with removeable tape.  Then stamp the words with the flowers from a different Impression Obsession set.  Remove the scrap paper mask and it looks like the flowers are behind the pumpkin!  Color and blend.  I stamped mine on a diecut of Nesties curved rectangles.  Then I cut out the next size smaller curved rectangle and used it for a mask over the entire image.  I attempted to airbrush the exposed edges with the Copic markers.  I need more practice at that, but it is presentable.  The tiny flowers are from Hero Arts.  I stamped, colored, and mounted them on pop dots.  Put the card together with layers and eyelets, and you have a great fall greeting.
