My daughter and family wen't for their annual trip to the orchard for pumpkins and apples and the photos were just right for this hop. I'm featuring our new Distress Oxide Inks along with Stencils and Glitter Gel. 

I started with the Distress Oxide inks to create a fall looking background. I patted the ink pads onto my All Purpose Mat and spritzed with water. You want to use the All Purpose Mat for this because the clean up is easy...just wipe with a paper towel!Using white cardstock I placed it on top of the spritzed ink and pressed it down. I kept doing this over and over until I had a background I liked. You'll have to add more ink and spritzing as you go.  You can also pat the wetter areas with a paper towel and it helps create a unique look. I set aside the cardstock to dry.

I cut some pattern paper into 3.25" squares then cut diagonally to make the corner accents. After placing the photos on the layout I used a stencil and Glitter Gel to add some subtle shimmer. This Glitter Gel is mostly clear and shimmery but also has some tiny gold star sequins in it. You just lay down the stencil and spread the Gel with a palette knife. 

The pumpkins were stamped and colored with markers. The letters in the title were cut with a Cricut. To make the letters stand out a bit more I outlined them with a black marker. Just that little bit around the edges really makes a difference!
