I completely LOVE Halloween, and any chance I get to make a spooky project, I will. This week I am challenging you to create a project inspired by Halloween. Can’t wait to see what you come up with."
Here's my card featuring Stampotique's Dwindled, Froggie, and Girl with Heart Purse (all stamps are by Daniel Torrente).
Dwindled, Froggie, and Girl with Heart Purse were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto Neenah cardstock, colored with Copic markers in Halloweeny colors, fussy cut, and set aside while I created a background for them.
One of the dies from Spellbinders' Graveyard Scenes die set, Memory Box' Puffy Clouds dies, and a Nestabilities Circle die were used to die-cut Eclipse tape. The die-cuts were placed onto 140 lb. Mixed Media cardstock by Strathmore to serve as masks. Post-It notes were positioned horizontally to create a rough horizon. The cardstock was then airbrushed with three Copic markers (B63, B69, and B79) to create a night sky.
The sky area was covered with the Post-It notes. More Eclipse tape was die-cut with the tombstone dies from the Graveyard Scenes die set and positioned along the bottom of the cardstock. A torn piece of scrap cardstock was positioned horizontally and a few colors of YG Copic markers were airbrushed over it. This was repeated several times with the torn piece positioned lower each time to create random lines of grassy lawn.
The Eclipse tape was removed and Copic markers were used to color the graveyard scene, the clouds, and the tombstones.
One of the dies from the 5x7 Card Creator set by Nestabilities was used to die-cut the graveyard scene, which was then edged with Black Soot Distress ink. Dwindled, Froggie, and Girl with Heart Purse were adhered to the background. A computer generated punny sentiment was printed onto vellum, die-cut with one of the dies from the Dimensional Banners set by Die-namics, then adhered to the card front. The smaller bat from the Halloween set of dies by Impression Obsession and A Bunch of Bats die by Memory Box were used to die-cut shimmery black cardstock. The bats were added to the card front to finish the card!
