Baked Fresh - Pumpkin Pie with Brutus Monroe

 

Hello everyone!  I don't know about you, but I love pumpkin pie!  I

don't make good piecrust so I don't get to have it that often - only when 

someone else makes it! LOL  Today I'll be using products from

Brutus Monroe

Baked Fresh Stamp Set

Chroma Mists

I really wanted to incorporate some blue into my project today.  It

looks so good with oranges and yellows.  Let me show you how I made

my card.  I started by taking 2 heavyweight A2 size white card stock panels.

I took one and smooshed it in Turquoise Chroma Mist.  I added water to 

my mat and kept smooshing and when it was still wet I splattered it with

full strength Chroma Mist.  I did the same with Tangerine Orange on

another piece of card stock.  After smooshing it in just plain Tangerine

Orange, I added a bit of Candy Apple Red and Ornament Gold.  I kept smooshing

until I was happy with the coverage.  Then I splattered with it with the 3 colors.

After they were dry, I cut them into strips - 3/4" for the Turquoise and 1/4"

for the Tangerine Orange.

Next I heat embossed with dark brown ink my elements from the

Baked Fresh Stamp Set.

I decided to color these with my Copic Markers.

For colors I used:  YR31, YR07, YR15, E08, E31, B00, B01, B02

After they were colored I fussy cut them.  I took a piece of creamy

yellow card stock from my stash and made an A2 size card base and

I cut a panel that was 4" x 5 1/4" and ran it through a dotted embossing

folder. 

 I took the largest piece of left-over card stock with the

Turquoise smooshing on it and heat set my sentiment from the

Baked Fresh Stamp Set with the dark brown ink.  Then I die cut it

with a banner die.

To put my card together I layered all of the background pieces together

inserting a piece of plain white card stock between the 2 yellow ones.  I

made a criss-cross pattern with my cut strips.  I popped up my elements

with foam tape including the sentiment banner.  I had to cut the right end

of the sentiment banner off because it was too long and that made a nice

flag for the top left of the card.  I put Glossy Accents on the whipped cream.  

I added two-tone pearls and that finished this card!

I love how this card turned out.  I really like how the Turquoise strips

are very much like an autumn sky with clouds!  It went so well with the 

sentiment!  You can find the products I used at
