Hocus Pocus, Lawn Fawn
I couldn’t wait to get my watercolors out for these fun dies from Lawn Fawn! Using Distress Watercolor Pencils, I added soft color to the pumpkin, the stack of spooky books, and the potion bottle, letting the pigment blend and pool the way only watercolor pencils can. I also tucked in a few touches of sparkle cardstock here and there, because, well, glitter all the things, right?
One of my favorite parts of this card is how the potion bubbles turned out. I watercolored them first for that soft, glowing color, then built up three layers of Glossy Accents on top to give them real dimension. The result is a set of bubbles that almost look like they’re floating right off the page.
To finish things off, I added splatters using Distress Watercolor Pencils and Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bleed Proof White for extra contrast, then scattered in a sprinkle of stars cut with the Hearts and Stars Skinny Tag die. That die has become one of my go-to favorites this Halloween season, it adds just the right amount of whimsy without overpowering the design.
This card came together as a little celebration of everything I love about the season: rich, moody color, a bit of sparkle, and details that reward a closer look. I hope it inspires you to pull out your own watercolor pencils and see where a little bubbling potion and a stack of spellbooks can take you this Halloween.
