PPA113 - Happy Hollow-grin

Stampin' Up! Scaredy Cat & 
Jack of All Trades

It's time for the Pals Paper Arts weekly challenge.  This week it's a technique challenge - heat embossing.  Heat embossing is perfect when you want to have a lighter color pop against a darker background.   Most people would have created an orange pumpkin with black features.  But I wanted to create the illusion that the pumpkin was aglow with the excitement of Halloween.  The Tangerine Tango Stampin' Emboss Powder did the trick!  That and a little Pinking Hearts picket fence and we have a Halloween vignette that's a Trick AND a Treat!

Putting It Together Tips:

  • I started this creation by positioning the pumpkin just below the half way mark on a 4'' x 5 1/4'' piece of Perfect card stock using StazOn Jet Black ink.  Then I added the stem and vine.  Allow it to competely dry before you add the features using VersaMark and Tangerine Tango Stampin' Emboss powder.  The embossing powder will stick to the StazOn if it's not completely dry.
  • Wipe the top quarter of a 4 1/8'' x 5 3/8'' piece of Basic Black card stock with your Embossing Buddy and impring the Happy Halloween using VersaMark and Wild Wasabi Stampin' Emboss powder.
  • Tear the top quarter of the Perfect Plum card stock and adhere to the Basic Blac to reveal the sentiment.
  • After punching a strip of Basic Black card stock using the Pinking Hearts Border Punch, run it through the Crimper to give it dimension and the look of a picket fence.
  • I cut out the ghost using my Paper Snips after printing it with StazOn on Whisper White card stock scrap and attached it using a Stampin' Dimensional.
