Creepin' It Real

 Creepin’ It Real

Hi and welcome back. This is my 2nd DT Project for Polkadoodles and the challenge set was Halloween Shapes, where we have to make a halloween shaped card.

I chose a pumpkin, mainly because there is a preset design in Brother Scan and Cut of a pumpkin. Easy right?

Don't have an electronic cutting machine? Don't worry, I've got you covered.

Access a pre designed template to print and cut via PDF (free to use).

I cut 3 white 300gsm pumpkin shapes, and used 2 of them by scoring one at roughly half inch then sticking together with another shape to create my card base.

I cut another pumpkin at the same size, but in black card stock.

The Distress Oxide colours I used to ink blend the 3rd pumpkin are:-

Fossilized Amber

Lumberjack Plaid

Wild Honey

Ripe Persimmon

Using Canva, I uploaded the wheelbarrow gnome, Frank and Gloria png. files and arranged them so they're masked and standing in a line. I was able to resize them to fit my card that would fit a 6x6 inch envelope.

I coloured the images using Spectrum Noir Triblend and brush Triblends in the following colours:-

Alpine Green Blend AG 1-3-5

Hydrangea Blend NB 1-2-3

Ice Grey Blend IG 2-7-10

Blue Turquoise Blend BT 2-5-9

Fair Skin Blend FS 6-7-8

Earth Brown Blend EB 1-4-7

Orange Blend OR 1-2-3

Dark Red Blend DR 1-4-7

The 'Creepin It Real' sentiment was coloured with orange blend and I used a GellyRoll no. 10 and a black glaze pen for added highlight and definition then matted on the same green card stock as the pumpkin top.

A really fun project that I hope you’ll try.

Take care of each other
