I've never really been big on carving pumpkins, but I always love seeing everyone's creativity. Last year I picked up my X-ACTO knife and carved a pumpkin for their contest. I was a runner-up and I was hooked.
This year I have carved two pumpkins. Here is my first one I carved for a Fiskateer (Fiskars) challenge...using leaves.
Let's Break It Down
Pumpkin, medium
X-ACTO retractable knife
Fiskars USX template Leaves
Bo Bunny Autumn Song paper collection
Creative Imaginations Super Seal
Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby) burlap ribbon
Tealight
I saw a pumpkin on Pinterest using the leaves for eyes so I could not help but to use the leaves for eyes, acorn for the mouth, and continue the leaves at the top of the pumpkin. This makes a fun center piece.
I coated the leaves with Super Seal which is like a liquid laminate so if I put it outside the dew will not damage the leaves.
This was totally fun. Friday will be pumpkin number 2.
Have a Crafty Day!
