I chose to use Halloween embossing folders and colors for these cards. I randomly added re-inkers all over my cardstock with a damp paintbrush in what looked to me like where the pumpkins were on the embossing folder. I like how the colors over lapped and made them two shades. I used yellow, orange and green re-inkers on the first card. I used VersaFine Clair nocturne ink to go over both embossing folders. When the inks were dry I ran the panel through the embossing folder. I did not add embossing powder to either card and just let the colors show through.
The second card used pale yellow, light orange and darker orange re-inkers to make the spider web and added the color all over the panel. I did the same thing, let the colors dry, inked the embossing folder and ran the panel through the embossing folder. I added the spiders in black cardstock with a Martha Stewart punch from many years ago. Both embossing folders are Cuttlebug that I've had a long time.
I hope you try this and add your cards to the blog.
I bought some skinny jeans. Be aware they don't work.
Be kind to one another.

Oh these are fun cards with that great inking technique on embossing folders! I now have regrets for giving away my MS spider punch because they look perfect on that spider web! The word skinny has never been (and never will be) in my vocabulary, so I'll pass on the jeans LOL
