Biblical Impressions: Pumpkin Patch

Happy Sunday,

The Biblical Impressions image I'm featuring today is called Pumpkin Patch.  Patterned papers are from the best of K&Company paper stack.

I was asked how the stitching was done on my Oct 12th post, so I created this card to show stitching.

I use a foam mat (yellow), paper piercer and plastic mesh canvas.  This was a tip I picked up from an angel several years ago.

I line up the mesh with my cardstock.

Then I pierced the cardstock using the mesh to guide my spacing.

This is a nice look.

Or add thread.

Instead of stitching you could also use this technique to create a dot border using a gel pen. 

Copic: YR15, YR18, YR24, YG93, YG95, YG97, E55, E57, E59

Memento black ink, Pastel and Earth Tone Chalks

Hope you enjoy today's card.
Happy Sweetest Day!

{TAC} Oct. Blog Hop: We LOVE Mabelle R.O.

Happy Saturday!

Today we are having a {TAC} Blog Hop, the theme is any Mabelle RO image (rubber) which appeared in a TAC catalog.  I used Lucy, which was in the 2010 Fall Supplement.  This was my 1st chance using it!

I chose to do a very simple layout and focus on the coloring of this cutie.  I love to cut portions of an image out to create interest.  I don't love that I cut Lucy's ear in the process {sigh}.

Copic Colors: Pumpkin YR15, YR18, YR24, Acorn, E30, E31, E55, E57, E59, Ground YG93, YG95, YG97, Dress B41, B45, B37, Lucy W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, RV00, RV02

We would love it if you joined our hop.  Please use a Mabelle RO image (rubber), post on your blog and link in using the link below and the full extension of your blog post.  This hop will be open for a few days (ends Oct 18th at 11 pm) and there will be a chance win blog candy! {Thanks Mabelle!}

Be sure to visit all the chicks:
