For this Halloween card I used the brand new Halloween Treat Bucket stamp set and coordinating dies from Pretty Pink Posh, and I had so much fun coloring up three of the four buckets using my Ohuhu Honolulu alcohol art markers, going with orange for the jack o lantern, a moody purple for the cat, and a bright green for the ghost bucket! I used the tip to tip blending method to smooth out any jumps between my marker shades, leaving a little white edge on each bucket to give them a rounder more dimensional feel, then arranged all three in a quadrant style layout to mirror the color progression of my cloud stenciled background. For that background I used the new Pretty Pink Posh Clouds stencil with Carved Pumpkin, Twisted Citron, Dusty Concord, and Black Soot Distress Inks layered in cloud sections, then finished with a Hickory Smoke Distress Spritz splatter for shimmer.

To put the card together I die cut the background panel with the largest Eyelet Rectangle die, layered it onto a black A2 card font, then white heat embossed the scripty "Trick or Treat" sentiment from the stamp set onto black cardstock and popped it up in the lower right corner with 1mm foam adhesive strips. I arranged the three colored and die cut buckets clockwise around the sentiment, then finished everything off with a few orange and purple Candy Corn Carnival Clay embellishments from Pretty Pink Posh scattered across the background for the most perfect Halloween finishing touch!
