    brilliant idea Megan, it would last for ages, rather than carving all your pumkins or other gourds cos they wont go off or smell bad. Might give it a go! TFS :)

    I saw this on your other video, but I love the idea of using the sponge brushes with the ink pads. I too have used CDS to decorate pumkins w/ vinyl, but this is just so cute & different.

    Love how you decorated the pumpkin with the
    stickles and the phrase created on the Gypsy.
    What a cool addition that is. Thanks for the
    inspiration!

    I absolutely hate making a mess so very rarely carve pumpkins. This project will make a wonderful center piece without the mess. Thank you
