CFC25: CAS-ual Fridays, The Clean And Simple Challenge! and 2011 October Papertrey Blog Hop Challenge



I am entering this card in two challenges, both listed above.

Normally when doing a spotlight technique, the larger image is left uncolored, however, I wanted to highlight the colored pumpkins so I reversed the process and left the inset inchie uncolored! 

I stamped the pumpkin cluster on watercolour paper (it is hard to see in the photo).  I love the texture that this paper gives an image. The pumpkin cluster is a combination of two different stamps. I used the masking technique to create the image that I wanted. 

The pumpkins were colored with Copics.  I kept the rest of the card relatively simple to keep the focus on the colored image!  A small stamped sentiment and the card was complete.
