Hi there! Today I am excited to share two cards made using the Pick A Pumpkin stamp and die set from Newton’s Nook. The video will show you how to add depth and shading to stamping and die cuts.
To stamp and shade the image I used three different shades of Simon Says Stamp ink: Sunshine, Orange Peel, and Burnt Orange. I inked up the stamp using each of the colors making it darker on the outside of the image.
To shade the die cut I used many different orange and brown shades of Copic Sketch Markers to add some details in that pumpkins would have. (listed in video).
Enjoy the video!

Cute cards. Thanks for the video on shading right on the stamp. Great idea.
This looks like a great set and I love that you chose only two stamps to use on your card. Showing how you can use the same image and get two different looks is clever. I really like the look of both cards. As usual yor video was wonderful as well. Great job Simon!
