MY PUMPKIN LAMP

Today i decided to join the Autumn Challenge at SVGcuts.com .So i took the Pick a Pumpkin SVG Kit .I stayed with just this Set to make this 8 inch big Pumkin Lamp.

I cut the base of orange Cardstock after i altered the Base of the Pumpkin with the 
Flower center on my Silhouette Cameo .The holes i got then i covered with yellow transparent Paper from the inside.

 The Lid ,the Leaves and the Stem i send through my Cuttlebug to get some nice 
Texture.The curlys i made out of green plastic covered wire and cardstock.

 The Corn Flowers i made out of the flowers in the Set in putting cut Lines in them to 
split the petals.Then to give it a little more Autumn look i glued 3 leather buttons to the Lid.
Some Metal Swirls on the outside of the Lid to finish it off.

For the outside of the Base i glued some orange fine unwoven fabric instead of the accent panels to it.
I used a LED Light Chain and filled it with Organza Material to cover it up.

I used the Rockin & Rollin SVG Kit from SVGcuts.com.I made a 6 x 6 inch print & cut layer for the Record cover .Then cut ,build and distressed it with disstress ink to give it the real old look.I cut the record shaped Card on my Silhouette Cameo out of black Cardstock .To get the real look i decided to cut the second layer out of glossy black Vinyl and the middle layer out of matt vinyl.

The middle label is a print & cut i created out of the cover i made before.The sleeve cover is just plain white cardstock distressed as well to get it look like lots of people touched it.

My Uncle loved his card very much. First he thought it was a real music CD i made for him.And we all had a good laugh when he realized it was only a card.
