I Brake For Stamps: Boo!

Boo!

Hi, friends! It's design team member Walter on the blog today with my final Halloween card of this year. Ghosts, haunted houses, a headless monster . . . this one has them all! I thought it would be fun to build a scene that's framed by spiderwebs. What do you think?

Here's what I used to make it:

Halloween 3/4 Sheet
Halloween Half Sheet #1
A2 Black Card Base
3"x4.5" White Card Panel
Distress Oxide Inks: Lost Shadow and Hickory Smoke
Delicata Silvery Shimmer Metallic Pigment Ink
Sakura Black Glaze Pen
Sakura Gelly Roll White Gel Pen
Silver metallic gel pen
Alcohol Markers
Ranger Glossy Accents

Here's how I made it:

Stamped spider webs onto the card base using silver metallic ink; ran the ink pad around the edges of the card base; set aside to dry.

Used the deckle edge blade of my paper trimmer to cut the white card panel.
Ink blended the white card panel with Lost Shadow Distress ink; started to blend in the Hickory Smoke around 2/3 of the way down.

Stamped the haunted house image onto the card panel with blank ink.

Stamped ghost, gravestone, and headless figure onto a scrap of white cardstock with black ink.
Colored each of the stamped images with alcohol markers and fussy cut them out.

Colored the house image with alcohol markers and white gel pen; colored the moon background of the image with a silver metallic get pen,
Adhered the stamped panel onto the card base with double sided foam tape.
Adhered down the cut images with double sided foam tape.
Outlined images with black glaze pen.
Added Glossy Accents to the pumpkin and spider bodies.
