Copic® Airbrush System
Eclipse Tape by JudiKins

Instructions:

1. Cover canvas board with black gesso, let dry, and set aside.
2. Cut Mixed Media paper to 4.75" x 5.75".
3. Stamp Skeleton scene onto white cardstock and onto Eclipse Tape.
4. Fussy-cut the Eclipse Tape version and place its counterpart on the white cardstock.
5. Using repositionable adhesive, adhere scrap paper horizontally over the image panel.
6. Airbrush RV91 over the image panel.
7. Brush Shadow Grey Archival ink over the Moroccan Mesh stencil to add visual interest to the "walls". The popular make-up brushes work fabulously with inks and metal stencils.
8. Remove the horizontal strip of paper and make sure all the adhesive is gone before creating a wooden floor with Copic markers.
9. Edge the image panel with Archival Ink.
10. Remove and reserve the mask over the rest of the image then continue to color the image with Copic markers.
11. Stamp the cat from the Beware Witch Cling set onto white cardstock. 
12. Stamp the female pumpkinhead from the Pumpkin People Perfectly Clear Stamp set onto white cardstock.
13. Color both images with Copic markers.
14. Trim the Poe image from the patterned paper and color with Copic markers.
15. Brush all three frames with Media Black Gesso and heat set. 
16. Press all three frames into a VersaMark ink pad, add Aged Bronze Embossing Enamel, and heat set.
17. Repeat step 13 until the desired finish is achieved.
18. Adhere the frames over the cat, pumpkin head, and Poe portrait.
19. Using the Halloween die from the Fall Words Die Set, cut black cardstock.
20. Use Matte Medium to adhere the image panel to the canvas board. Let dry.
21. Brush Matte Medium over the image panel. Let dry.
22. Use the Matte Medium to adhere the title, the framed images, and the Chit-chat sticker strip. Let dry.
23. Brush Matte Medium over the entire piece. Let dry. Repeat.
24. Fill the frames with Liquid Glass and let dry overnight.
