A Witchy Halloween

Halloween in August! Lyneen here with a fun technique that I learned many years ago and seem to forget about it. Creating my own layering stencil. Tonight, as I type this a big barn owl is hooting. It reminds me of Fall and all the hauntings of Halloween.


Stamp from I Brake for Stamps
Large Witch with Cat


Other Supplies:
All & Create Rectangle #32
Circle die ½ inch
Tim Holtz Oxide Ink Hickory Smoke, Squeezed Lemonade, and Carved Pumpkin
Staz On Jet Black
Stamping Platform
Tree Punch
Acetate
Water squirt bottle
Paper Towel

 

For this project I wanted to create the background with inks, with an ominous full moon. To do that I needed a mask for the moon and then a mask to cover the night sky surrounding the moon. Using a 2 1/2-inch circle I die a circle in the center of the acetate.

Using the All & Create Rectangle #32 cut the black frame and the center white mat.

 

On the stamping platform place the white mat, with the circle die cut from the acetate.
 

Apply Tim Holtz Oxide Ink Hickory Smoke on the map as pictured. Spritz whit water and dab with a paper towel to remove excess water. 



Now place the piece of the stencil with the circle cut out of the center of the acetate. 


Then ink the moon using mask stencil and Tim Holtz Oxide Ink Squeezed Lemonade, and Carved Pumpkin.  Ink the whole moon with Squeezed Lemonade, then lightly ink the edges with Carved Pumpkin.


With StazOn ink stamp the image of the witch. That big moon just sets the silhouette of flying Witch

Adhere the white mat to the black mat adhere to card base with dimensional foam. 


Punch out a tree for black card stock. The tree gives the image of the witch dimension. 



 Adhere white and black grudge mat to the orange card base. Add a little bling with black gems.
