Morning.
I don't tend to make Halloween cards, but when I saw this great TH set on for a steal at Michaels, I just had to own it. I love the spider web and the set has some really cute images in it.
So onto my background.
As most of you already know, I love playing around creating bkgs. I was using some shaving cream and re-inkers for another project and had some leftover on the plate I was using. I didn't want it to go to waste, so I pressed a piece of cardstock into the inked shaving cream and put the dry piece away in my stash. I like to have backgrounds ready and waiting for quick card making.
How to do this technique.....spread some shaving cream onto a paper plate (that makes for easy clean-up). Drop some re-inkers onto the shaving cream and swirl it around. I used a little spatula but you could use the end of a paint brush or a popsicle stick. Gently press the paper into the shaving cream, set aside to dry. Scrape off the excess with an old credit card to reveal a beautiful bkg.
I placed the inked bkg into my Misti and stamped the images and the sentiment.
To give it an even more eerie look, I rubbed the edges with some Black Soot DOX ink and splattered with some black acrylic paint.
I mounted it onto a piece of white, then black, then onto a heavy white cardbase.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
