Today is day 28 of the Artiste in August Blog Hop. You should have just been to Adeline’s blog. Keep on hopping from link to link until you come full circle.
I made today’s pumpkin box with Florentine and Dreamin’ papers. (both are retired…..I’m working on using up my stash 
)
This box is made pretty much the same way as the strawberry, only on this one you fold in the point of the box so that is will sit flat.
These would be great at the Thanksgiving table, just add a name tag to each and enclose a quote or verse for each family member to read aloud. Or maybe prompts for what they may be thankful for this year….could be a new family tradition.
Now continue on the hop over at Paisley’s Playhouse.
Happy Crafting!

. To achieve the watercolor look on the flowers I used a stamping technique called tissue stamping. Basically, you scrunch up a tissue and use it to randomly apply different colored inks to the stamp. For the stems, I selectively inked just the stems and leaves then lightly stamped off some of the ink on a scratch paper so that the color would be softer and more fitting with the watercolor look of the flowers. I stamped the sentiment with chocolate ink, then stamped it again with versamark ink and heat embossed with clear detail embossing powder. The beauty of CTMH’s clear acrylic stamps and blocks…you can see through them to perfectly line up where you want to stamp your image!
