Hello my crafty friends! Yesterday I wanted to play with Tim Holtz distress Oxides sprays, stain and ink pads. So I took some Strathmore mixed media paper vellum surface and just started spraying with different colors. I’ll list products used down bellow.

Trick or Treat
The colors on leaves are Tim Holtz distress oxide spiced marmalade and wilted violet. Back colors of pumpkins are distress spray stain carved pumpkin and distress oxides spray seedless preserves and Victorian velvet.
I cut all the leaves out using TH thinlits Fall Foliage #660955. Then I used TH 3-D texture fades Foliage #665252 placed my leaves on it and run it threw my vagabond. Which gave them the look of real leaves.
Other products used are Stampin Up detailed pumpkins dies and used TH #561263 trick or treat thinlits. Plus I used Memory box wrapped stitch rectangles steal dies to frame everything. And black soot for part of the trick or treat words. Stickles glittler glue, sequin mix and black card stock wt. 110.
