I created a few things to share in the coming days, starting with this fun card that just puts a smile on your face! The line up of Pumpkins is so easy to create using the matching wafer dies. 

For the background, I used my FAVORITE of the "shifter" series of stencils: the Harlequin pack. It is a 3 stencil pack with 3 different sizes of Harlequin stencils to choose from. I used the middle one for both the card and the tags I created.

My base a Tim Holtz Watercolor Cardstock and I used both Oxide and regular Distress Ink for the colors. The new Mini Blending Tools are the perfect size for this stencil. Of ocurse you need to keep Oxide and Distress Ink on separate brushes so I mark the end of my Distress Ink Brushes with a D (sharpie marker) and keep them in separate tins.

Once I was finished stenciling, I made a puddle of Oxide Ink and used a thick brush to splatter the ink over the surface.

Then it was time to stamp and color the pumpkins - so easy on the Watercolor paper! Next, I went to my workhorse Vagabond machine to cut out the pumpkins. I love how the die cuts so close to the edge and gives you just a bit of a white halo. I swear it makes you smile every time it comes out of the machine.

The words, "A little Hocus Pocus" are from the Life of the Party set (CMS380).

And as a bonus, I used all the same products to create some fun tags.

The stencil is the same size as the cards, but this time I used multiple colors of Distress ink over the harlequin stencil. I love this look!

I used Snarky stickers because they just worked so perfectly with the different faces of the pumpkins.

Stay tuned, because I will be back in a couple days with another wafer die project. 

Now carry on,

paula
