Any scrapbook paper can be used including lighter weight scrapbook paper with designs as shown above. A scoring board is a great help in this project. I got mine at JoAnn's on sale but you can use a 40% coupon and end up getting one for around $12.99. You'll definitely love having one.
You could use a 1 1/2" circle for the name circle instead of a scallop punch if you prefer
We chose a yellow paper for the background to make it look like the pumpkin is lighted from within, but any color will work.....Black, brown, green etc. Just use your imagination. Because after all, you know what you like!
This is the step where you ink the paper. We used the cheapest Q-tips we could find (dollar store) There isn't as much cotton on the end of the tip as the name brand and they work more effectively. You could use a stencil brush or a make-up applicator. Be sure to ink the inside edges of the eyes, nose and mouth. Slice the edges through the ink pad. Curl the stem by rolling it around a small crochet hook or knitting needle, something small in diameter.
