For the final video in my Halloween Series 2022 (check it out HERE ) I went out on a limb and tried out the new Tim Holtz Winter Frost Distress Mica Stain for the starry background in my Pumpkin House scene. I love how this looks! The night sky is filled with stars and gives a beautiful glow to the background in this card. The addition of Black Soot Spray Stain brings a subtle element of nighttime to the scene.

The whimsical colors I used for the pumpkin house add a Halloween feel to the this card but it could easily be used as a fall card. The cute little glowing mushrooms and shading on the flowering vines are perfect for autumn-themed cards! I also used a squeeze bottle to apply glow-in-the-dark dots to some elements in the card. It is a fun surprise that the recipient will enjoy.

I hope you have enjoyed this Halloween card series. I’m already hard at work designing some Thanksgiving goodies and I hope you will join me here in the coming weeks where I will link all details for these projects.

Cheers!

Cynthia
