Aging Pumpkins

 I found a really fun technique over at Splitcoaststampers - Aging Textured Die cuts.  here's the link to the YouTube video by Lydia.    Basically you smoosh your textured die cuts into several DOX inks and then sponge over them with Distress Vintage Photo.

 I die cut the pumpkins from the Autumn Harvest Die set by The Greetery.  I rubbed Dox inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Carved Pumpkin, Crushed Pistachio and Salt Water Taffy onto my glass board, spritzed each color with water and pounced into each color with my die cut pumpkins until I liked the mix. I dried the pumpkins and then rubbed over them with my finger with Ranger Distress Vintage Photo ink which also highlights the texture lines.

I wanted to age the wagon as well as the pumpkins - so I die cut the wagon from Rubbernecker out of Hammered White card and rubbed over the pieces with with Ranger Distress Hickory Smoke and Vintage Photo ink pad before putting the pieces together.

I adhered the wagon with the pumpkins as well as a tree sticker and leaves from Jolee onto a piece of patterned paper from Rubbernecker with this lovely fall field scene.  I stamped the sentiment and splattered over the panel with my black POSCA pen.  Inside a stamped Happy Thanksgiving.
