A Halloween Hello

Hi there,

I created this fun Halloween Card for the Addicted to Stamps and More Holiday Challenge:

• create a background on watercolor paper using Distress Inks (Shaded Lilac, Seedless Preserves, Dusty Concord)
• spritz the background with Pearlized Water 
• cut out a panel from the watercolor piece with the stitched rectangle from the My Favorite Things Blueprints 20 die set
• apply Distress Ink (Black Soot) through a Tim Holtz Layering Stencil (Shatter) and ink up the edges with the same ink color
• stamp the sentiment from the My Favorite Things Witch Way is the Candy? stamp set with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
• use the My Favorite Things Stitched Interactive Window Trio die to create three little peek-a-boo-windows
• stamp the cute critters from the same stamp set on a piece of Perfect Colouring Paper with Memento (Tuxedo Black) and color the images with Delta Markers
• mask the images with Daniel Smith Masking Fluid and create a background with Distress Ink (Shaded Lilac) and a Mini Ink Blending Tool

Here is a close-up of the adorable critters:

I hope you got inspired.

Yours,
