Woodgrain Pumpkin Slimline Card

Hey friends, today I've got a fun technique that I don't use often but I really should. Stamping over stencils. It yields such cool results and is so fun to do. This project for Scrapbook.com features the Pumpkin Patch stencil and Hi Fall stamp set, both new in the shop.  Scroll down for creative details. You'll also find product links at the end of this post.

The dimensions of my card are close to the traditional size of a slimline card, measuring in at 4x8 inches, edge to edge. I trimmed my kraft cardstock to fit, then trimmed my white panel to fit.

I sprayed the back of my stencil with Thermoweb Pixie Spray then masked around 2 rows of pumpkins and centered the stencil on top of my white panel. Yes, my stencil is covered in some adhesive and glitter and needs a good cleaning, haha! Even though I had tape on my stencil, I used the spray for a better seal and to prevent any of the gloss spray that I used (further down this post) to seep underneath the stencil. The Pixie Spray is currently out of stock but click the link if you'd like to be notified when it's back in stock. It's a must have staple in my craft room.

 

Next, I used my Scrapbookcom hybrid ink in Leather to ink blend lightly inside my pumpkins. Once this is done, LEAVE YOUR STENCIL IN PLACE! You're going to stamp right on top of your ink blended pumpkins with a woodgrain background stamp. No need for a stamp positioner, just ink up the cling stamp and press directly onto your pumpkins, If it's a large background stamp, like mine, you may need to mask some of your area to stamp 2 different sections evenly. You can also use a small woodgrain stamp and acrylic block to stamp individual pumpkins.

I should mention, the background stamp I'm using today is no longer available but I've linked a very similar woodgrain stamp at the end of this post.

Continue to leave your masking and stencil in place for this next step. We're going to jazz up the pumpkins with some Dina Wakley Gloss Spray. I love that it dries fairly quickly and adds such pretty color, shine and dimension.

I generally unscrew my bottle top and simply tap the gloss all around with the end of the spritzer tube. It allows me a little more control this way and I don't over saturate my area.

Now, it's time for the magic. Peel off your stencil and masking tape.

Isn't it gorgeous? I decided to go in and ink blend a few pumpkin "shadows" but this was easily done without masking. I also used the 2nd stencil that comes in the set to blend in some bubbles and stars. My sentiment was stamped with gradient color, stamping half my sentiment with Leather ink and the other half with Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus ink, to tie in all my colors together. I fussy cut it and backed it with a matching trimmed kraft cardstock.

Glue a few sequins for sparkle and call it a day!
