Trick OR Treat?

Greetings! I'm back to share another Mixed Media project created for Topflight Stamps since that's our focus this week! I've used stamps by Carabelle Studio with Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints by PaperArts, alcohol markers, modeling paste, a stencil, and die-cuts on this slightly deranged card.

Here it is!

Instructions:

1. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp both ravens from the Poe's Ravens Rubber Cling Stamp Set and the eyeball from the Witches' Kit Rubber Cling Stamp Set  onto white cardstock.  Carabelle went out of business last year, but some stamp sets are still available at Topflight Stamps!
2. Fussy-cut the ravens and the eyeball, color with Copic markers, and edge with a black marker. 
3. Use a gold marker from the Essential Metalllic Colorista Markers Set to outline the raven's monocle and highlight his chain. 
4. Use a white Gelly Roll Gel pen to add highlights to the ravens' eyes.
5. Set the colored ravens and the eyeball aside. The ravens will just have some fun playing with their monocle, mask, and the eyeball.
6. Use a door cutting die to cut mixed media cardstock. 
7. Use low-tack tape to cover the door frame. 
8. Paint the door with Twilight Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paint. Let dry.
9. Remove the tape and use colored pencils to add some shading to the door. 
10. Flip the door die-cut, place a piece of vellum over the windows, then adhere yellow cardstock over the vellum. Set the door aside. You can put the door over the ravens. Maybe it's time for them to nap.
11. Cut a piece of mixed media cardstock to 5.5" wide. 
12. Use Stone and Buff Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints to paint the cardstock.
13. Use low-tack tape to adhere the painted mixed media cardstock to the back of the Floor Perspectives stencil.
14. Add a dollop of modeling paste to a craft mat. 
15. Add a few drops of Stone Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paint to the modeling paste and mix well with a palette knife. 
16. Spread the paint-tinted modeling paste over the stencil onto the painted cardstock. 
17. Remove the stencil and the tape. Let air dry for a bit, then use a heat gun at a distance to heat set it. You can let the heat bubble the paste if you like, it'll just add additional texture.
18. Create a 5.5" x 8.5" card from white cardstock. 
19. Adhere the stenciled dimensional floor to the bottom of the card. 
20. Cut a piece of brick patterned paper from the Bricks Textures 6x6 Paper Pad to 5.5" and adhere to the card as shown. 
21. Trim whatever white space is left at the top of the card. 
22. Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink to edge the card. 
23. Adhere the ravens and the eyeball to the front of the card. 
24. Adhere a silver metallic flat backed half globe to the door to become a doorknob.
25. Use alphabet dies to cut black cardstock and adhere to spell out the sentiment.
