Hello creative friends! It’s Monique Lowe here with some pretty pumpkins adorning a new Halloween-themed layout. I am loving using Paige’s Tricks & Treats collection for all things Halloween & Autumn and found the perfect Pumpkins from the 20 Halloween Cut Files.
The cute Pumpkins were my starting point. I picked Paper 2, Paper 3, Paper 7, and Paper 9 to back the cut file for a mix of colors and subtle patterns and used Paper 4 for the stalks. I selected Paper 12 for my background and, just like my last layout, I prepped my page with a coat of clear gesso. I followed this with a thin layer of white gesso to soften the background slightly. I placed the Pumpkins in the middle of the page and painted some shimmery watercolors in coordinating shades around them and extended the paint down my page a bit. I backed both photos with vellum and Paper 11 and stuck them down in place. I wanted to create a diagonal of embellishments and started off by tearing my background open at the top left of the page. I stuck a piece of Paper 1 in this opening with beautiful florals peeking out. I used the Floral Die cuts as well as fussy cut florals from Paper 1 and tucked them in around the pumpkins, across and down towards the bottom right of my layout. I added some glittery sparkle to the center of each flower and tucked in a few clusters of thread for texture. I finished off my layout with a title using Mini Foam Thickers, along with the Puffy Phrase Stickers and a scattering of Enamel Dots, Mini Puffy Stickers, and fussy cut moths. Thank you so much for popping by to take a peek! I hope you find a happy moment to get creative with Tricks & Treats and the 20 Halloween Cut Files!
