Have a Spooky Day ~ Ghastly Gourds ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

So glad you've stopped by my blog! Today I'm sharing a fun card I made using the cool new Ghastly Gourds stamps from Unity.

I love this background! So perfect for Halloween! I had a little fun with my background. I ink smooshed a piece of Kraft card stock with Carved Pumpkin and Vintage Photo Distress Inks. And then I scraped the panel with the same two ink pads. I love the layers of ink and the texture in the background from the ink smooshing. Once I was happy with the colors in the background, I stamped the Ghastly Gourds with Black Amalgam ink. I die cut the panel using the largest die from the Deckle & Stitches Nesting Die Set.

I wanted to bring the focus to one cute pumpkin so I colored it with a handful of Copic markers: YR15, YR68, YR27, and E29. And then I die cut a piece of Dark Chocolate card stock from Papertrey Ink using two dies from the Scallops & Squares {nesting dies} basically cutting out a frame. I adhered the frame around the pumpkin. 

I wrapped the panel several times with burlap string and tied a bow. Adhered all of my layers to an A2 top fold card base of Dark Chocolate card stock. I chose a fun sentiment from the Witch Way stamps. I stamped it with Black Amalgam ink on Kraft card stock and then I blended just a bit of the two distress inks again.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Inky hugs,
