Simon Says - Halloween/Spooky

[Kath Stewart]

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too because

and the theme for this week is...
HALLOWEEN/SPOOKY

I created a fun spooky card to wish my foolish mortal friends a Happy Halloween using the friendly ghosts and sentiments from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Spooky Spirits Stamp and Die Bundle, the Moon Mask Layering Stencils, the tree branch from Mr Frostie Stamp and Die Bundle and Tim Holtz Idea-ology Mummy Cloth.​

​

I placed the middle sized moon mask on an A2 panel of Distress Watercolor card, spritzed with Wilted Violet and Faded Jeans Distress Spray Stains. I removed the mask, spritzed around the moon with water, tilted the panel to allow the water to work it's magic, added water splatters and dried.​

​

I placed the sentiment from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Spooky Spirits on to a Grid Block, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and repeatedly stamped on the background.​

​

I stamped the tree branch from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonyomous Mr Frostie on to Distress Watercolor card, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, coloured with Rusty Hinge and Ground Espresso Distress Stains using a Detailer Waterbrush, die-cut using the co-ordinating dies and fixed to the panel with small strips of Thin 3D Foam Squares. I dragged the Versafine Clair Nocturne ink pad around the edges of the panel to darken.​

​

I stamped the ghosts from Spooky Spirits and coloured in the same way using Faded Jeans Distress Spray Stain.​

​

I fixed Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Mummy Cloth to the bottom of the panel using small dots of Distress Collage Medium, die-cut the ghosts using the co-ordinating dies and fixed to the panel with Simon Says Stamp Thin 3D Foam Squares. I stamped the sentiments on to Distress Black HeavyStock, inked with Versamark ink, sprinkled with White Embossing Powder, heat set, die-cut and fixed in place with Thin 3D Foam Squares. I added splatters of Rusty Hinge Distress Spray Stain and used a Sakura Black Glaze Pen to accentuate the eyes of the ghosts.​

​

To finish I matted the panel on to Distress Black HeavyStock and fixed to a white card blank.​
