Happy Halloween feat. Catherine Pooler


My son hasn't participating in Halloween in many years so I was going to skip it almost entirely this year but then I decided I couldn't. It was fun going through all my old Halloween posts and being inspired to create a very colourful card with some Catherine Pooler products, including Hey Pumpkin and Jack-o-Lantern.

I used the Color Wheel Download to choose my colours and ended up with Clay Mask (with Polished), Whipped Honey (with Shea Butter), Tranquil (with Stone Blue) and Lilac (with Royal Treatment). I stamped the three pumpkins with Shea ButterLilac and Clay Mask. The faces were stamped with Slate, the stems were stamped with Stone Blue and the leaves with Polished


I stamped extra leaves in all of the colours and created a pile, which I then picked up with a sheet of Glad Press 'n Seal. I set the pile aside and stamped the Old Oak Tree using PebbleHoodie and Slate using sponge daubers to create an ombre effect. I love how it gives it that foggy, spooky effect.


I used blending brushes to add TranquilStone BlueLilac and Royal Treatment with a tiny bit of Polished to the background. Then I used liquid glue to adhere all the leaves, save a couple where I used glue dots. To finish, I added the pumpkins with foam tape.
