Stamping Platform

Instructions:

1. Skull N Roses was stamped onto white paper and onto removable label paper. The label paper version was fussy-cut to create a mask, which was placed over its counterpart on the white paper image panel.
2. The image panel was was placed onto the STAY-tion and secured with magnets.
3. A ruler was placed over the top part of the image and the bottom part of the image panel was sponged with Gathered Twigs Distress ink. 
4. The ruler was moved to cover the bottom part of the image panel and the top part of the image panel was sponged Milled Lavender Distress ink. 
5. The Berry Stencil was placed over the top part of the image panel and secured with magnets. 
6. Milled Lavender Distress ink was sponged over the stencil, onto the image panel.
7. The stencil and mask were lifted and the image panel was heat set.
8. Barric the Crow was then stamped onto the skull using Onyx Black VersaFine ink and heat set.
9. The Skull N Roses image was colored with Copic markers, as was the table under the skull. You can go over Distress ink with Copics, which is marvelous! BTW, retrospectively, the horizontal line delineating the parts of the the image panel should have been placed higher. Oh well.
10. The spiderweb border stamp from the Skullduggery Borders Cling Mounted  Rubber Stamp Set was stamped with White Hybrid ink then again with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink. A white gel pen was then used to touch up the spider web.
11. The image panel was trimmed to 4.75" x 6.75", edged with Black Soot Distress ink, and adhered to a black 5" x 7" card. 
12. The sentiment stickers were added to complete the card.
