October ATC Swap The Great Pumpkin

This month's requirements were to stamp on text and use the color orange.

My ATC foundation is orange and I colored orange on the pumpkin.
For the text, I tore strips of newspaper text and pulled them through a Xyron "X" sticker maker. I adhered the strips, overlapping, on to white cardstock. I stamped the pumpkin on the text background and colored it with Prismacolor pencils. The pumpkin was fussy cut and glued to the ATC.
I used a color sweeper and distress inks to ink the sky and ground.
The crows are stenciled (Dreamweaver) using black soot distress ink and a sponge dauber. I colored over the wire with a silver pencil but I doubt you can see it.

This was a fun swap! Thanks LeighAnn!

What a fun ATC and great timing for posting! Wonderful stamping and coloring on the newspaper text!. Terrific black ink used on the crows.

I just love the way you achieved the text! Such a great idea. The pumpkin has a lot of depth and texture with the nice shading and coloring you did. The birds are such a fun touch and I love the orange mat and how it ties it all in together, thanks for sending it to me:)

This is really neat. The text is wonderful. The birds hanging over the pumpkin is a great stamp. TFS

That pumpkin came out fabulous. And what a clever way to get your text to stamp on. The crow stencil is really cool too.
