Hello friends! I have another Halloween card to share with you. I'm sharing it over at Just Us Girls (card #2!), Festive Friday and the Four Seasons Challenge (card #3!).
So I went a little crazy on stocking up with new Halloween stuff and this card mixes and matches die cuts from Simon Says Stamp and Tim Holtz.
I LOVE making Halloween cards so this was so fun to put together. I started with the SSS Arched Forest embossing folder and die. I used two shades of brown (all inks used are Distress Oxide listed below) to ink blend a panel of Tim Holtz Heavyweight cardstock that I'd embossed with the Arched Forest folder, then used the matching die to cut out the background, leaving just the trees. I re-embossed the tree section as it got flattened out a bit in the die cutting process.
Next I used a moon mask on another panel of the same cardstock and ink blended the spooky sky. I then used a moon stencil to added layers to the moon, then the panel was splattered with Hocus Pocus and Unravelled Distress Mica Stain Sprays.
While the panel dried, I die cut the fun trick-or-treaters from black cardstock three times, then adhered them together for some dimension. I just love the kid with the pumpkin head lol! Before adding the embossed trees to the background, I stenciled the bats with some black pigment ink. After adhering the trees to the background, the panel was slightly trimmed down and added to a black card base. After the trick-or-treaters and sentiment were adhered, I used a white gel pen to add just a few highlights from the moon and that finished things off!
Thanks for taking time to visit. Take care!
