Here I am again, LATE as usual! LOL! 5 days and counting until my little darlings return to school, and I can get back into my usual routine!
Heres's the fabby Waltzingmouse Sketch, this week designed by Mona Pendleton:
And here's my take:
I have used a variety of WMS stamps - Text It for the background in the Gothic script, Hocus Pocus for the beautiful Bat Wreath design on the middle panel, and the railing strips under it. Halloween Party for the bats and pumpkins, and sentiment, and the jar is the single Candy Jar.
The background is stamped in Old Paper and Frayed Burlap distress ink, and the Pumpkins were stamped using Versamark and the new ink from Memento Potters Clay, then embossed them with clear powder, cut out and arranged in the black embossed jar. I layered this onto a doily cut using Spellbinders Ironwork Motifs, and wrapped some dark brown twine around the middle panel.
All edges were distressed with Tea Dye and Vinrtage Photo Distress Inks. I added some little green stems to the top of some pumpkins, and added some green ink to their eyes and mouths for a spooky look.
I would like to enter this into Tuesday Throwdown - Use a Colour you don't normally use - I very rarely use orange or black! And Craft Your Passions - Embossing, I have embossed the Jar, sentiment and pumpkins.
Thanks for stopping by today,
Pauline

Pauline, There is so much I love here - the fence border, the jar of pumpkins, the bats..... Great way to showcase all the different sets and how well they work together. Amazing! Just like you!
My favourite part of this is the border you built out of the old fence - this is SO perfect!!!

This card is amazing! I love how clever you are to fill the jar with pumpkins for Halloween! So adorable! Thanks for joining us this week at Waltzingmouse!
What a very fun card Pauline!! I love the way your pumpkins look like real cookies in the jar :)
Well done, Pauline. All the wonderful techniques you used bring these jack-o-lanterns to life, and the way you corralled them in the jar is so cute.
Naturally, the orange and black are perfect for this design. The spooky fences make great borders too! Great creation!
