For the second card in my Halloween Card Mini Series I have made this fun Pumpkin Pop-up Box Card! As you can tell by a previous post in my blog, I love making these and was looking forward to creating a cool Halloween themed one.
Starting with the base; I used Stampin' Up! Basic Black card stock, then layered it up with Papermill's Orange card and Echo Park Hocus Pocus designer paper. By layering the card/papers you get a really nice thicker finish which just makes the whole thing look better and more sturdy when 'popped-up'. (I will be doing a step-by-step tutorial on how to make the base shortly but if you put 'pop-up box card tutorial' into google or YouTube there are already some fab ones out there!)
For the embellishments; I stamped the Pumpkin from the Stampin' Up! Jar of haunts set with Espresso Truffle Momento Dew Drop Ink onto Papermill's Orange card. I then added colour to the shaded areas with Spectrum Noir markers, using OR1. After seeing it all shaded I decided I wanted a brighter Pumpkin and a smother blend with the shading, so I went over the whole Pumkin with OR1 and then shaded with OR2. The final coloured image can be seen on picture to the right.
The vines were randomly fussy cut out of green leafy designer paper from the Eco Park Hocus Pocus collection and Wink of Stella added once the rest of the card was finished. You can not really see it much on the photo but it is so shiny and pretty.
The spider webs were hand drawn using a white gel pen and Wink of Stella added before covering the lines in Glossy Accents. This gives a lovely shimmery and raised effect to the cobweb. Small spiders have been stamped using Stayzon Black Ink and the large was fussy cut from Basic Black card. The body's have been given a coat of Glossy Accents to add dimension.
This card has a magical shimmer to it and a fun Autumn feel. The sentiment can easily be changed to suit Harvest, Autumn or Thanks giving.
Thanks for visiting :D
