Fall crafting is the best kind of crafting. I love that it’s perfectly fine to put pumpkins on every project. Today I wanted to share with you a pretty technique using my favorite tool; the Pen Tool. I’m pretty sure I would buy an Inspiration just for the Pen Tool. I love the way you can dress up your cut pieces and make cool accents.
For today’s project I created my “Fall” sentiment by cutting the letters out of my base piece and backing it with patterned paper. Before cutting out those letters I used the outline feature to draw an accent outline around the letters. This simple technique makes your title or sentiment pop off the paper.
