I had the fun of working with the Pumpkin Peeps set for this release. I used the panda bear and one of the included sentiments for my card:

I used white card stock for my card base and then added some pretty patterned paper for the background. To this I added another black & white paper. Three more layers of paper (black, glitter green and orange) were mounted behind the image which I cut out using a deckled die from Spellbinders.I used a Martha Stewart border punch alongside the green glitter paper to the right of the solid black paper. My image was colored with Copic markers. Three hearts were punched out using a Studio G punch. My paper which the image was printed out was distressed around the edges with Tim Holtz distress tea dye ink. I think this card is perfect for someone who you want to know you are thinking about!
The nice thing about this Pumpkin Peeps set is that it also comes with already colored images to cut your card making time in half! A perfect set for your autumn cards!
