Pumpkin Patch: Inspired by Pumpkins Challenge

Here in Iowa, there's been some frost on the pumpkins!  This morning it was 25 degrees and a little too chilly for my bones!  This kind of weather makes me long for warm apple cider or a cup of hot cocoa.  If you've been waking up to a chill in the air, what's your favorite way to warm up?  Warm drinks, a snuggly sweatshirt or maybe a fire crackling in the fireplace.
I removed a small plastic pumpkin from some garland and painted it with Creative Inspirations Copper Paint.  I added a dowel to the center and placed a Vintage image at the top.  So simple, yet festive.

Happy Crafting!    Jan

Sparkling Embossed Background

  I tried an experiment to see if I could make my Creative Inspirations Paint background crackle- looks like it did a very teeny bit- but not what I was hoping for. I will keep my fingers crossed that Molly (CI owner) will come out with a crackle version.........!

  I painted the white CS with Beige Creative Inspirations Paint. I ran it through the Cuttlebug using Regal Flourishes (Tim Holtz). I found this sweet image by Crafty Secrets (Birds and Blossoms) and thought immediately of my Mother- I need to send her a card-perfect!  The BG paper is from Paper Temptress- Red Texture (hate to cut into it…but it worked so well with the image).  Finally, I added the Metallic weave ribbon (Martha Stewart) in Gold and Camelia Pink.
