3)     Use the Midnight Musings Jumbo Stampin' Around wheel on the Pumpkin Pie cardstock

4)     Use Sticky Strip to adhere the Pumpkin Pie to the bottom edge of the vellum cardstock.

5)     Punch a 2-1/2" circle from scrap cardstock.  Set the punched out circle aside for other projects; use the negative image as a stencil to sponge Daffodil Delight classic ink onto the vellum.  Sponge Peach Parfait near the edges to add shading.  This creates the full moon image.

I LOVE the way you can use My Digital Studio software to create these effects!  The faded photo creates a great background with lots of detail, while the full saturation focal point draws you in to the important part of the photo!

Article Headline
colour coach If you ever struggle with knowing what colours to put together, the new Colour Coach (#120148) is the tool you need. Choosing the colours for your projects should be fun, not stressful!

 Select a colour that you want to use and locate it on the Colour Coach. On the back of the card, you'll find two different colour combinations with 3 colours each. Some of the cards feature "dynamic duo" - a second colour that's a bit lighter or darker than your main colour that can be used for a monochromatic colour scheme.

The Colour Coach is truly customizable.  The "Your Combinations" at the back of the Colour Coach is a section for your favourite colour combos.

Add the Colour Coach to your next order and start having fun!
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving and a Happy Hallowe'en!  Hope to see you at an event soon - until then, Happy Crafting!!

Sincerely,

Linda
