Hello sweet friends!!
Happy Halloween to you all!! I hope you enjoy the festivities and aren't frightened by too many ghouls and goblins showing up at your door--nor in your stomachs after all that Halloween Candy!
Halloween passed VERY uneventfully here as usual, but I'm a bit sad about the fact that we miss such a big season of tradition, fun and celebrations. Oh well. When my daughters get older we'll definitely have to bring Halloween into our yearly calendar :)

Halloween passed VERY uneventfully here as usual, but I'm a bit sad about the fact that we miss such a big season of tradition, fun and celebrations. Oh well. When my daughters get older we'll definitely have to bring Halloween into our yearly calendar :)
Despite that we didn't celebrate Halloween here, I've been feeling an itch to make a card for the 'season', so here it is:
Here's a little Halloween girl for you, I was going to make her a witches hat but she was just too cute, so rather than go "all-out" I kept it simple and just tried to give a feel of spooky darkness (it's much darker in life than this photo shows due to the camera flash).
Here's what I did:
- Stamp the girl image on white cardstock using Memento ink
- Stamp the same image onto Inkadinkadoo Masking Paper, cut out and (temporarily) adhere over original image.
- Cover a small rounded section of the base of white cardstock (to form the ground)--(I just cut a piece of scrap paper into the right shape as I didn't want to use the Masking paper, because this was particular size and shape for this card.)
- Ink up the Cloud Background stamp with Stormy Sky ink and stamp. (**NB The masking paper protects the little girl image and makes it look like she's standing in FRONT of the clouds)
- Ink the Silhouette Grass Stamp with Scattered Straw ink, stamp.
- Using my blending tool, add some Walnut stain ink to the base of the card to create the ground/dirt she is standing on.
- Remove the masking paper, color the girl image with copics
- Stamp Hello Flags stamps onto scrap paper in desired colors.
- Adhere flags onto cardfront and either draw a black line between to create the banner's "rope" (or cut a thin strip of cardstock and adhere to cardfront underneath pennants)
- Distress edge of card with scissors or distressing tool
- Mount onto Black cardstock!
DONE!! It looks like a lot of steps but they're all VERY easy.
Here's what I used:
| Foam Blending Tool |
Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad Clear For Embossing (on inside of card)
Have a FRIGHTULLY wonderful Halloween dear friends!
