Finnibair Patina Effect Rust Pastes: Rust, Brown and Gold

Glitteriffic polka dot and Gold

Acrylic paint in Pumpkin Orange and Shamrock Green

White canvas 8×10 inches, scissors, paper trimmer, distress tool, fall foliage diecut shapes diecut machine, craft glue, Decoupage glue, sponge brush, paintbrush, Glossy Accents, Beacon 3 in 1 Glue, hot glue gun, Distress ink

Step 1: Paint the front of your pumpkin pallet shape with orange and green paint.  Don't forget to paint the around the edges and in between your wooden pallet. Set aside to dry.

Cut paper strips from one of the papers and lay down as desired onto your canvas base. Use Decoupage glue to adhere paper strips to canvas. Set aside to dry. 

Next take another sheet of decorated paper and trim to size across each pallet section, on your wood pumpkin surface. I left about 1/4 inch of the orange base showing. Distress and ink the edges of each piece of paper.  Adhere to your wood pumpkin surface with Beacon 3 in 1 glue.

Now choose one your Clear Scraps Chipboard swirl butterflies and paint the body brown.

Then take some Glitteriffic Gold paint and brush onto the butterfly wings. This adds a nice glitterery effect. After it dries, I  carefully bent the butterfly wings slightly, so they appear to be moving.

Next I diecut a few fall leaves and foliage pieces, and fuzzy cut out a butterfly, and little fox. 

Take some of the Finnibair rust pastes and apply to the part of the stem and bottom of your pumpkin. I apply to the surface using a pouncing motion and a stiff old paintbrush,  adding one color at a time, until I get the desired look. Let dry. Using a hot glue gun or strong adhesive,  like Beacon 3 in 1 Glue, adhere your wooden pumpkin pallet shape to the middle of your canvas. 

Now the fun part of your decorating your pumpkin. Arrange your flowers, and other embellishments you like to your pumpkin surface. I like to add a few pearls onto my flowers with Glossy Accents. I brushed some gold Glitteriffic polka dot and Gold paint to my flower petals. I also glued my Clear Scraps swirls butterfly to the upper right corner of my canvas. I also added some foam dots to the back of my little fox to add some dimension.

I hope you enjoyed this project and you will give it a try and make one to decorate your home for fall. Be sure to visit the Clear Scraps website and see all the great products they have for all your crafting needs. Click here
