Stamping Platform

Instructions:

1. Create a 5" x 7" card from Raven cardstock. Set aside.
2. Use Tuxedo Black Memento to stamp Edgar Allen Poe twice — once onto white cardstock and once onto repositionable label paper.
3. Use Copic markers to color Poe on the image panel. 
4. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version of Poe  and place  over his colorful counterpart on the image panel as a mask (but not the Masque of the Red Death. Sorry. Not sorry.)
5. Sponge or brush Lost Shadow, Milled Lavender, and Seedless Preserves Distress ink over the masked image onto the panel to create a background.
6. Place the image panel onto the STAY-tion and secure with magnets.
7. Place the "Nevermore" Stencil towards the bottom of the image panel. Secure it with magnets or secure with low-tack tape. I did both because more is more for a Virgo control freak.
8. Sponge or brush  Nocturne VersaMark Clair Ink  over the "Nevermore" Stencil onto the bottom of the image panel. Remove the stencil.
9. Use low-tack tape to cover the bigger splats and spotches on the Splatter Stencil.
10. Randomly sponge Nocturne VersaMark Clair ink the splotches, moving the stencil as you go. 
11. Unmask Edgar Allen Poe, trim the image panel to 4.75" x 6.75", and edge it with Nocturne VersaMark Clair.
12. Adhere the panel to the reserved black 5" x 7" card. 

Since time is ticking away, like a pendulum in a grandfather clock, you should gather your stamps, get inky, and play along with our 31 Days of Halloween Challenge!
