2nd post today! 4x4 Friday, Halloween/Pumpkin

So unlike me to post twice in one day but I am on a crafting roll!
The AAE/ Team scraplift has given me confidence so I needed to get this 4x4 Friday challenge done as my next team CJ is two small layouts!! I have to select two of my favourite photos & scrap them. I have the pics but done nothing for a week. Today, I think I can tackle it!!
This background was first stamped with my wording stamp, CI. Then I inked it with sponge dipped into various ink pads in dark green, orange & brown shades. The pumpkin scene was a B&W drawing that I printed out onto watercolour paper & coloured in with permanent brush markers by sugarloaf. I then over-inked it with brown to age it a bit.
The sign is made from a wooden cocktail stick inked with timber brown stazon. The stick is glued to the page & the scne mounted on stick fixers over the top.
