Making Card with a Bountiful Harvest Card Panel

Hey everyone! This is Daniel West!  I hope your Saturday holds a ton of happiness in store. To help you focus on the upcoming pumpkin-pie-crazy holidays, I made a card using a Bountiful Harvest Card Panel that came in October's Brutus Monroe Inspiration Box.  

I had seen Christopher Alan foil and color one of the apple panels from this kit and knew I wanted it right away.  I ordered mine this week and it came in just a few days!!

I got my laminator out and a piece of parchment paper, along with a piece of Deco Foil Gold Foil. I sandwiched the Pumpkin card panel inside the parchment paper and under the foil and ran it through the laminator.  Pure magic!  I love peeling off plastic from new phones and gadgets--peeling foil brings the same smile to my face.  

I grabbed some Copic Alcohol markers and colored in some of the pumpkins on the card with brown and orange. I colored in some of the leaves with a blue green marker. 

After coloring in the images, I cut down a strip of Jack O Lantern Cardstock for a ribbon across the front of the panel. I stamped a sentiment from the Autumn Sunrise Stamp Set with Brutus Monroe Embossing Ink and heat embossed it with Brutus Monroe Icicle Embossing Powder.  This leaves a darker watermark looking sentiment that matches the cardstock color.  I took some of the leaves from the same stamp set and stamped them along the left-hand side of the strip with the same Embossing Ink.  

I used some Brutus Monroe All-Purpose Craft Glue to adhere the pumpkin panel to an A2-sized Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardbase.  I adhered the embossed colored cardstock strip to the top of the panel and took some photos of this baby.
