Title: INK 19 The 'Masked Pumpkin' Challenge (10/26 > 11/3K
Post by: Looser on October 26, 2019, 04:19:37 AM

Happy Inktober Fest everyone!

My challenge uses one of stamping's most basic techniques--Masking (surprised?)

Using both regular & mortise masking, you just need to create a pumpkin. Simple, right?!  ;D

Just make a positive & negative oval mask. Then use them to build your gourd. You must use stamping, but otherwise, you can go as crazy as you want.

My sample is very simple, but I plan to do some others which will get a bit more complex--but not more difficult.

Use Ink 19 MP to ID for this challenge. Post it to our gallery & link it here, please.

Your pumpkin(s) do mot have to be used in a piece, but that's up to you.

I don't mind if you combine it with another challenge--if allowed.

Have fun... #>

Thanks Daniel.  You are the master of masking!  Great way to build a pumpkin!  I definitely want to give it a try.

Daniel, when I looked at your example again, I realized how much your flower stamp looks like the blossom of a pumpkin plant!

Here is my entry.  This was fun. If i did it again I would use small stamps to fill it instead of background stamps.  But I did use all stamps that I hadn’t used in a long time.

I never get better at masking, very stressful.  But I tried.
I was aiming at making it look like one of Michael Strongs design, like I used on 3 from 1 cards I made.  I did cheat and fill in lines with marker where I had gaps from the masking.  And I used colored paper.

Thanks for the challenge, Daniel, as always, you challenge me!

I didn't get quite the definition I hoped for ... but I gave it a shot.  I was going for the damask look I see in some home decor pumpkins.
I made a Thanksgiving card (http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pid=4662#top_display_media) .

Wonderful how adding just that back bit of oval makes your punkin a true globe. Love the Damask! Thanks for playing!

Well after throwing a few away that were not working I finally came up with this one that I am happy with.  I think I just had a better day yesterday.

I can't take credit for the pumpkin "lobe" in the background.  I got the idea from Yankee's pumpkin!  I actually wish I put that lobe a little lower. 

Connie, your pumpkin is so pretty!  Love the lawn you created too.

I'm really enjoying how the patch is growing. Great job everyone!

I want to try doing a 'panorama' pumpkin.
