Hey everyone! I have another Halloween-themed card for y'all - this time using absolutely NO Halloween specific stamps LOL!
I love the Honey Bee Stamps Little Pickup set that I just got not too long ago, and looking at the pumpkin stamp in the set I decided to make a Halloween card with it.
I used my new Avery Elle Fine Black embossing powder (I show and swatch them in the haul video HERE if you missed it) for the pickup and the pumpkins and then watercolored them in with Distress Inks and a water brush.
The background was done with Distress Oxide inks - I sponged them onto the Bristol Smooth card stock, sprayed them with my Distress Sprayer then added white splatter.
I got a little creative with the sentiment - I didn't have any Honey Bee sets that have a Halloween word stamp - so I cut up a couple of sentiments from the Happiness set to get the letters I needed to spell Halloween.
Like I mention in the video you can achieve the same thing if you just wanted to mask off the letters you DON'T want with tape - it would just take more time and effort. I don't have a problem with cutting my stamps apart anymore - I get more use out of them that way - and they still work like they were originally meant to!
I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the pickup and the pumpkins with the same Distress inks I used to color in the images on the front and that was it!
