Spooky Nights

Hello and Welcome

This month at A Colorful Life Designs, we are showing some Halloween fun stencils.

New for this month is the Interactive Drippy Ghosts stencil.

I paired it up with some older released stencils for my spooky card.  

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed it onto my Make Art Station.  I placed the Pumpkin Patch stencil along the bottom of my panel and then inked with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed that stencil and placed the large Fancy Web stencil over the background and inked with Black Soot DOX ink.  I splattered with water to lift some of the colour and set aside to dry.
• While that dried, I stenciled one of the little ghosts from the Drippy Ghosts stencil wish a bit of Weathered Wood DOX ink and fussy cut it out.
• Next, I stamped the spider and the sentiment using my Misti.
• I added a bit more of the Black Soot DOX ink along the edges to give a more 'spooky' look.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of black cardstock and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• Lastly, I used some foam tape to pop up the little ghost over to the side.

Here are the stencils I used:

Hello and Welcome

Meet today's card.  

I wanted to try my hand at creating an ombre style card using the wonderful colours of Fall.

So here's what I did to create my card. 

• I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock.  I positioned my Marvelous Rectangle Mask over the panel, then the Orderly Leaves stencil over that as I wanted to be left with a clean, crisp white border.
• Next, I got out some Distress Oxide inks in the Fall colours.  Using a blending brush, I started at the top blending in some yellows (Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber).  Next, orange (Carved Pumpkin), then finally reds along the bottom (Candied Apple, Barn Door).
• When I was happy with the blending, I removed the leaf stencil but left the mask in place and splattered with my black Posca Pen.
• I removed the mask and placed the piece into my Misti to stamp the sentiment with some Versafine Clair Noir ink, then clear heat embossed it.
• I mounted the panel onto some red cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

 

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
