Pumpkins with a Pop, Tim Holtz

To create these backgounds, I followed my friend Stacy’s moon tutorial she shared here. I used Distress Spray Stains and Distress Oxide Sprays. I then went over it with the halloween stencil and Pumice Stone Distress Oxide. I splattered a bit of Gansai Tambi Starry Colors. I added some Distress Rock Candy to the moons.

For the Pumpkins, I heat embossed them, and watercolored them in with Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers Distress Watercolor Pencils. I then die-cut them with the new coordinating dies, and inked the edges with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

I used a paper distresser on the edge of the backgrounds, and I white embossed the sentiments.

I am enjoying experimenting with different color palettes – it’s a lot of fun!
