Gorgeous! I just love the fall colors, and the natural looks.
Posted by: Natasha Poteraj | 11/04/2013 at 02:49 PM
The burlap is a great idea for "ribbon". I have never tried that. The pumpkins look so nice---I like everything about these.
Posted by: Sharon Gullikson | 11/04/2013 at 02:49 PM
Lovely pumpkin. Love the idea to do several layers. Gives me ideas for the gelatos I have.
Posted by: Vesta | 11/04/2013 at 02:50 PM
Beautiful tag. Love the bright fall colors. Great idea for making the pumpkin. You can make several pumpkins in one cut and have a different end designs. Love it

Posted by: Judy Covey | 11/04/2013 at 03:02 PM
Loved seeing how you 'designed' the pumpkin. I have a set of Gelatos but have been hesitant to use them - wasn't sure HOW to use them. Now, I will be adventurous; looks like a lot of fun.
Posted by: Janey | 11/04/2013 at 03:04 PM
Wow, love the way you did that pumpkin - and the Gelato's kit includes an incredible amount of great items
Posted by: Catherine | 11/04/2013 at 03:06 PM
So amazing how you made that pumpkin! And I have that stamp set so, yay! I can make something similar. Gelatos seem like the tool to have along with those Big Brush markers and Aquarelle pencils:)
Posted by: Kathy H | 11/04/2013 at 03:06 PM
thanks for this fabulous opportunity! love how you did the pumpkin tag..thanks for sharing.
Posted by: renee logan | 11/04/2013 at 03:06 PM
Well, that was a big WOW! Amazing colors, and using the design paper like that was brilliant! I don't know much about gelatos, except that they are on my next list of things to buy! Love the affects!
Posted by: Marcy Bennett | 11/04/2013 at 03:07 PM
How beautiful! I've decided I "need" to go get some gelatos!
Posted by: Kay | 11/04/2013 at 03:08 PM
I have been afraid of gelatos but now I need them.
Posted by: Grammajoni | 11/04/2013 at 03:10 PM
And to think I have been intimidated in using gelatos! Beautiful work and THANK YOU FOR THE TUTORIAL ! Love your work!
Posted by: Diane | 11/04/2013 at 03:10 PM
Great tag. I'll have to remember the 'pumpkin trick'! Thanks for the ideas.
Posted by: Dawn Skene | 11/04/2013 at 03:11 PM
This creation is stunning! I love it! Thanks for showing the tutorial that we can all give a try.
Posted by: Lisa K | 11/04/2013 at 03:14 PM
Gorgeous projects with a great tutorial. I have been wanting Gelatos for some time, but my crafting budget has really shrunk with retirement, so winning a set would be wonderful. Thanks for the chance!
Posted by: Mitzi | 11/04/2013 at 03:14 PM
What a gorgeous tag and I love that pumpkin with the pattern papers. And, Faber-Castell colored pencils was one of my favorite Christmas presents when I was a child. They had such bright and awesome colors. I always took the doll from the paper dolls and made and designed my own clothes for her. I never used it as a paper doll that much, but just as a form for her to model my creations. What fun! Guess I was always into color even as a child.
Posted by: Verna Angerhofer | 11/04/2013 at 03:14 PM
I do love the gelatos and the fun ways to use your finger to apply color as well as a paint brush. The pumpkin is a great finish to the tag - just love the top part of the tag!
Posted by: Evelyn | 11/04/2013 at 03:14 PM
Great tag - gelatos are really fun to work with.
Posted by: Diana Enns | 11/04/2013 at 03:19 PM
Very pretty tag, thanks for the ideas
Posted by: Kathy E | 11/04/2013 at 03:19 PM
I love pumpkins and yours is so cute!
I never thought of using the gelatos on the edges
thanks!

Posted by: Pam | 11/04/2013 at 03:22 PM
Love the paper-pieced pumpkin, and the demo of stamping and distressing with Gelatos. THey remind me of pastels we had as kids--less messy, maybe? Thanks for the chance to win!
