Tuesday Morning Sketches #722

 Hello!  Thank you so much for stopping.  I appreciate your visit and I would love for you to leave me comment so I know that you were here.  The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and I know round cards aren't a popular sketch, but I really cannot wait to share my cards with you.

They are round and I am really wishing for cooler weather with Fall so I made pumpkin cards.  My cards feature mostly card and supplies from Tonic Studios.  I want to know so much and play so much with other craft mediums and Tonic is helping me learn and explore.  I know I still hold back, but check out my cards.  I'd love to know what you think!

I basically made both cards the same way using some oval dies.  That created my base.  Then pulling in embossing folders, dies from Spellbinder, embossing folders from Cuttlebug and embellishment mousse, pastes, drops, card, etc from Tonic here we go....

For this first card I used Ginger Pie card stock from Tonic and several embossing folders.  The leaves and vines are dies from Spellbinders and the sentiment is from Time Spent with Friends craft kit from Tonic Studios.  I also used Glitter paste from Tonic.  It really is a card with another large oval cut and adhered to the back that does open for a sentiment or message.  This will fit in an envelope made for a 5x7 card.

This next card is made using items created from a Fall bundle from Tonic.  They have such great sales and they get me EVERY TIME!  I used stencils in my stash and Embellishment Mousse in Indian Gold on the outer sections of the pumpkin.  The next 2 sections are Pearlescent card in Harvest Gold (I think) and the center section I embossed and for the first time used Gilding flakes.  It's a bit of mess, so please be kind.  It was my first time.  The vines and leaves are from another wonderful color of Pearlescent card.

I love how both cards turned out and I'm sure will be loved by the 2 special people that will be receiving them. 

Please give this sketch a try.  I'll see you over at the TMS blog.
