The Glittered Poppleberry

 Hello friends, I hope Friday is treating you well! So for this Halloween card I wanted a silhouette effect over a night sky.

I applied seedless preserves oxide ink using a sponge. I moved the stencil about as I didn't want straight tidy lines. Heat dried again. Grab some patterned paper that matches the colour scheme.
