Membership Monday ~ October 2022 Kit of the Month ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing some inspiration for the gorgeous Kit of the Month from Unity Stamp Co! Did you see the lovely card that Echo Noble shared last week using the KOM? If you missed it, hop on over to last Monday's blog post to check it out... here. And then head on back here to see the two cards I'm sharing today using the gorgeous pumpkin stamp in the kit.

I just adore this sentiment too! It's perfect for your loved ones or dear friends just to let them know how special they are to you. I started my card by stamping the pumpkin arrangement with Black Amalgam ink and again on a large post it note for a mask. I fussy cut the mask on the black line, laid it on top of my stamped image and stamped the textured background stamp that's also in the Kit of the Month.

Two fun plaid dies adhered together create the background for this card. The panel was wrapped with {Natural} May Arts Burlap string a few times tied off with a pretty bow. I adhered the card front to a white A2 top fold card that I turned on the side.

I traced around my oval die with a pencil and fussy cut the oval shape by hand enabling me to get the shape I wanted for my image rather than cutting off some of the leaves and berries. The sentiment was mat on kraft and I adhered it to the oval panel. I popped them both up with foam tape.

There's just something about Fall images and copic coloring on Kraft so I just had to replicate the card on Kraft to see how it would look.

Here's the list of Copic markers I used for both cards:

Pumpkins ~ BG70, BG72, BG75, E51, E53, E55, E57, E59

Sunflower ~ Y11, Y06, Y15, YR15, YR27, E53, E55

Green Leaf ~ YG03, YG67

Berries ~ RV32, RV34, RV66, RV69

Twig ~ E53, E55, E57

Oak Leaves ~ YG93, YG97, YR21, YR15

Background ~ E51, E53, E55, E57

I love the richer tones the Kraft card stock gives to the Copic coloring. So lovely for Autumn.
