Supplies
Pumpkin
White Gesso
Dylusions Ink Spray - Calypso Teal
Glossy Accents


Miriam started out by giving the base coat of White Gesso and let it dry completely.  Once dried, Miriam sprayed the pumpkin with Dylusions Ink Spray - Calypso Teal.  Once dried decorate the pumpkin as you would like.  

Miriam then took a piece of white paper and glued it with Glossy Accents.  She then made a banner and attached it to the roll.  She then cut a hole in the stem of the pumpkin and inserted the banner into the stem and glued with Glossy Accents.

Very Cute Miriam!  Stay tuned till tomorrow when we release Jean's Pumpkin!
