Honeycomb Pumpkin Tutorial

For this year's Holiday Tutorial Blitz/Falliday Fest at Splitcoast, we are updating our top 8 holiday tutorials of all time (and then adding two new ones) and I got to recreate one of my favorites - Becca Feeken's Honeycomb Ornament.

We usually have lots of Christmas tutorials though so I thought I'd modify it for Thanksgiving, so I did a little half pumpkin with Gel Press Prints. Isn't this cute?? For the stem, I actually had a little kraft shopping bag in my office that had that twisted handle - so I cut a piece of that and unrolled it.  Then I adhered that all with Scor Tape to Desert Storm cardstock that I stamped these leaves on and splattered with this gorgeous - sorry - GOURDGEOUS - gold ink. Really simple and fun. It would be cute on a gift bag too. The sentiment is stamped in Nocturne from this set. Please note in the video - I did these Gel Press prints on this ultra smooth text weight paper, and then glued them back to back for this effect - so be sure if you're using cardstock, use a lightweight one and do your prints on both side.
