Greetings everyone! Anne got us started today with a Halloween card, and I am going to continue with a second one. I have to admit that I am such a sucker for Halloween cards!
For my card today, I wanted to use some of the new pumpkin dies. Nothing says "autumn" quite like pumpkins!
I started with a black piece of cardstock and cut the edges with one of the patterns from the Distressed Addington Collage set of dies. I then used the new Magical Pumpkin Collage in the center:
The Magical Pumpkin Collage is one die and cuts out a series of pumpkins, stars, and circles. If you don't make Halloween cards, there is no reason you couldn't use the pumpkins without Jack O'Lantern faces and change the color palette to be more autumnal and less Halloween. I placed a piece of yellow cardstock behind the open black areas in the center of the card.
Next I added some orange cardstock behind the black and added the orange faces I cut from the Jolly Jack O'Lanterns die.
Want a chance to win the new Jolly Jack O'Lanterns die? Leave a comment for this post by Sunday, July 19th at 11:59 pm EST. One comment will be chosen at random to win the Jack O'Lanterns!
Be sure to visit the Outside the Box blog tomorrow for two new posts with the new release and two more chances to win prizes!
