Pumpkin Background and Mica Powder

It's that season!
Time for pumpkins, turkey, mashed potatoes and giving thanks!
It's Kristie here from Kristie Kreates.
This weeks Eureka! Stamps challenge theme is 'give thanks' 
so I thought I would go along with that theme for this card.
I used
"Pumpkin Background" (#26601)
I stamped Pumpkin Background onto kraft card stock with VersaMark ink.
Then I brushed on some gold Mica Powder.
Eureka! Stamps carries several color sets of Mica Powder,
just click on the "Metallic/Mica Powders" link on the left sidebar of the home page at the Eureka! Stamps Store
to see what they have to offer.
Here is a close up that shows the gold shimmer of the Mica Powder.
Next I stamped the Pumpkin Background
image again and colored just parts of it with FlexMarkers
and fussy cut them.
I adhered those pieces to the background with foam tape.
The sentiment is rub ons and also popped up with some foam tape.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Leave a comment if you will.
I hope you have been inspired in someway.
Why not check out the wonderful images at
as well as all the other wonderful products they carry,
like the Mica Powder I used on my card?
Be sure to also check out the latest challenge and join in the fun.

Mosaic Pumpkin


I'm posting today for Eureka. I few weeks ago I posted with Eureka's mosaic background and leaves; today I'm showing you the mosaic pumpkin! I embossed the pumpkin in gold, then sponged orange and green inks. The Happy Birthday text is also gold-embossed.

Circus Train...


Hello,

Katie here today.

I would like to share a card with you made from several Digi Stamps from Eureka Stamps.  I had such fun with these stamps and they have so many possibilities.




The card is 6" x 12" as it needed to be big enough to fit the whole train onto it!  I have coloured the images using Promarkers and then cut around each image.  To join the carriages together I have used a ribbon punch on Black Cardstock to look like a chain.  The balloons are cut from an old Quickutz die that I have as is the grass.

Here is a list of the stamps I have used:

Remember when sizing these Digi Stamps that the animals need to fit in the Train Car, so make them smaller than the engine and the carriage!

To see what else I have been creating please visit my blog here.
