Here's my card:

I don’t normally make Halloween cards although I have lots of Halloween stamps! This pumpkin/jack o’lantern stamp is pretty cool! Look closely and see how many cool images create the pumpkin.

I heat embossed the pumpkin by using Versamark ink and black embossing powder. After that, I used pan pastels in orange, yellow and white and swiped the colors over the image. I used the white to blend the colors together better. I don’t know if it needed it, but that’s the way I did it.

Once I added color, I added some washi tape to the top left and stamped “trick or treat” on the bottom. Each “white” panel was matted on black cardstock or black patterned paper and then adhered to the purple card base.

I made two cards and plan on sending these to my niece and nephew this year. Who knows...this may become a new Halloween tradition!
