Let’s make some elegant Halloween postcards in case you want to send something spooky to somebody. You’ll need white cardstock, colored or patterned paper, a ruler, a pencil, a glue stick, a gold leaf pen, a soft, dry paintbrush. Use the glue stick to glue a sheet of cardstock onto the colored paper. Smooth the two together and cut out a postcard that’s 4” x 6”. On the colored paper, sketch a Halloween-y phrase with the pencil. When you’re happy with the look of the words, trace over the pencil with the gold leaf pen. Allow the liquid to dry for a few minutes; gently set down a sheet of gold leaf over the glue and pat carefully to be sure it sticks. Dust away the excess gold leaf with the dry paintbrush. Clean up any edges and reapply glue and gold leaf if you need. Have fun!
