Meowy Halloween

Here's the last Halloween card created this year for Topflight Stamps! Yesterday, September 29th was International Cat Day and I missed it! As a certified crazy cat lady, I'm hanging my head in shame. I hope that this card makes up for my lapse as it's a cat-themed Halloween card that was made using Lavinia Stamps' gorgeous Noof Clear Polymer Stamp with their fabulous Witch's Hat Clear Polymer Stamp. I used the Feather Leaves Stencil with Lime Punch Elements Ink to add some interest to the background. One of the sentiments from Heffy Doodle's A Purrfect Day Clear Stamp Set was used with the "Halloween" from their Classic Sentiments Clear Stamp Set.

Here it is!

Note:
When I started to think about this project, I took a look at the Eclectica ENB02 Rubber Cling Mounted Stamp Set by Nicci Battilana set as it's perfect for Halloween. I thought that it would be fun to make the ghosts really bright colors rather than white. The sentiment jumped into my head and I decided to add the cocktail from the Eclectica ENB06 Rubber Cling Mounted Set Set by Nicci Battilana set because cocktails contain spirits and add to the festive spirit!

Instructions:

  7. Grey piece (for tombstone): drops of SageStoneSnowflakeMoonlight, and Vintage Lace Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paint.
  8. Set all the pieces aside for now.
  9. Trim the 9" x 12" piece of Mixed Media paper to 5.5" x 8.5".
  10. Brayer Summer Sky, Sky, Periwinkle, and Cloudy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints horizontally across the paper to create the background. 
  11. Lightly brayer Vintage Lace and Rose Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints over the blue sky to add a touch of pink. 
  12. Heat set the painted background.
  13. Trim the painted background to 5.25" x 8.25".
  14. Use a stamping platform and Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink to stamp the ghosts, tombstone, branch, and sun onto the painted pieces. 
  15. Heat set all the images.
  16. Fussy-cut all the images and use a black Pitt Artist pen to edge them.
  17. Use Zig Watercolor pens to add details to the stamped painted images. Heat set.
  18. Use Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp the cocktail from the Eclectica ENB06 Rubber Cling Mounted Set Set and the lamp post from the Eclectica ENB02 Rubber Cling Mounted Stamp Set onto Neenah cardstock. 
  19. Fussy-cut the images.
