An Enchanting Halloween
Hello Everyone!
Welcome Back to My Studio!
Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween to all of you who celebrate!
Today I bring you “An Enchanting Halloween”
Ink n’ Splatter Enchanting Charlotte
So today I have a super fun and attractive card to share with you using Ink n’ Splatter “Enchanting Charlotte” Stamp Set and Coordinating Die
Stamping…
To start off, I stamped my image using Black Hybrid Ink on White Marker Paper and cut it out with my Die Cutting Machine
Then, I colored my image using Copic Markers. Alcohol markers make blending colors almost effortless!
Ink Blending Technique…
Next, I blended, with blending brushes, 3 Distress Oxide Ink colors of blue, pink and yellow, on white cardstock
And, spattered my blended background with white opaque ink
Pattern Paper…
I decided to use a piece of pattern paper from Ink n’ Splatter “Wonky Halloween” Paper Pad to make my image and background stand out.
I die cut a circle out of the middle of the pattern paper so I could place my ink blended paper under and give an illusion of a large Halloween Moon.
Putting it all together…
For my card base, I cut a piece of textured black cardstock and folded it to create an A2 card. I then cut a smaller piece of Kraft cardstock leaving a slight border on all sides, and attached it to my card base.
I attached the pattern paper with the ink blended piece over the Kraft Cardstock and again leaving a slight border on all sides.
I attached “Enchanting Charlotte” with adhesive foam to the lower center to leave room for the blended moon.
Embellishments…
At this point my card looked good but it needed something…and of course I couldn’t resist a few more embellishments.
So I die cut a super cute web from white cardstock and cut it to fit in the upper left corner of my card, a few fabulously adorable die cut bats, dotted the opposite corner of my card with white enamel dots, and tied coordinating Halloween bakers twine across the bottom of my card base, and under my colored “Enchanting Charlotte” image.
I’ve enjoyed playing around with Halloween images, colors and designs. Unfortunately, the crazy colors of Halloween, come but once a year!
Challenge Yourself…
During the course of the year, jump out of your comfort zone and create something uniquely different to you! Different colors, designs, techniques.
Who knows…you just may surprise yourself!
I hope I have inspired you today to try something new, or simply create something Fabulously Heart-Warming, or perfectly Fun-Loving, to bring you, or someone else, a little bit of joy for the moment.
