31 Nights of Halloween - Night 5

Well hello My Dears, and welcome to Whimsy Stamps fifth night of our Halloween Blog Celebration. I'm so glad you could join us again!

Today I’m sharing  a card I created using the Howling Night stamp set, and, oh my, it is awesome! I had so much fun creating this card.

I began by die cutting a circle from masking paper, and placed the negative piece over a watercolor panel. Then I stamped and fussy cut a moon from the masking paper and placed it in the circle. Next I blended Broken China, Chipped Sapphire, Wilted Violet, and Black Soot Distress Inks, and then spritzed and lifted water to create the night sky. Finally, I Splattered Brushed Pewter Distress Spray Stain, and sprayed Shimmer Spritz for stars. 

Ta-Da! When you remove the masking paper you have a night sky perfectly blended in a circle on your card panel. I removed the moon mask, and stamped it again in the circle. Then I softly blended white pigment ink over the stamped moon to create a halo effect. Next I stamped the tree branches with Versafine Clair ink, and added the die cut grass using the Grass and Cloud Edger Die Set.

I tried to stamp the howling wolf onto the card, but I didn’t like how it looked stamped over the silver distress spray splatters. So I decided to stamp, fussy cut it, and adhere it onto the card. Tip: Don’t forget to outline the edge of your fussy cuts with black marker! It makes a huge difference in the final product. I use a Faber-Castell PITT black B artist pen. 

Finally, I finished the card by tearing vellum, and heat embossed the sentiment in VersaFine black ink with clear embossing powder. Before adding the sentiment vellum, I gently blended Black Soot ink around the cardstock and the edges and the stamped bats. I layered the panel with craft foam over Tim Holtz idea-ology Materialize paper and black cardstock base.

I hope you are hopping along and not getting too spooked with all of the creepy creations! Love and crafty hugs!
