STENCILED PUMPKIN

I wanted a pumpkin to go with my black and cream runner so I decided to get a plain white pumpkin and do some stenciling.

I used some of the new sticky stencils from Martha Stewart.  They work great with the rounded contours of the pumpkin.

I also got some of the MS stenciling tools and used a small foam pouncer to apply black metallic (I didn't choose this in particular, just had it on hand) paint.

My work is a little messy but you can't tell  from far away.  I really like how it turned out and it looks great with the runner.

I also made the stand that it is sitting on.  I found the base at goodwill for $1.99 and bought the round top at joanns.  I  painted it with RustOleum's Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint. Cool huh?
