Halloween Theme Week- Day 4

Hey crafty friends!  Elaine here today from @pinkpeppermint cards.  I’m so excited to be part of the Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Theme week!  I love Halloween card making and I’m thrilled to be sharing the project I have created.  

Have you taken advantage of the 15% savings on Halloween items this week?

To start my card, I stamped the BOO image from the BOO stamp set on to copic friendly cardstock with a copic friendly black ink. I used a variety of copic markers to colour the images (which are adorably sized and cute).  Once colored, I decided I’d like to give the images an eery spooky feel so I used Distress Ink in Pumice Stone to lightly blend ink around the edges of each letter.

Setting the coloured letters aside, I started working on the layers of the card base.  I took a piece of slate grey card stock cut to 5.25” x 4” and used Distress Ink in Black Soot to lightly blend ink from the outer edges in towards the middle.  I adhered the ink blended panel to an orange A2 cardbase with liquid adhesive. 

Before adhering my BOO letters to the card base, I placed the card panel in to my stamping tool and positioned the letters on to the card front as a guide and then stamped the spider (also from the BOO stamp set) with Versafine Onyx Black Ink.  Taking a ruler and copic multiliner, I drew a line upwards for a thread and added eyes with a white gel pen. To adhere my BOO letters to the cardbase I used some foam tape to pop them up and give dimension.  

I used another sentiment from the BOO stamp set and white heat embossed on black cardstock and trimmed in to a thin strip.  This was adhered directly to the card with liquid adhesive.  As a final embellishment and to add some sparkle I adhered some mini gold star confetti pieces – I love how they catch the light!

Thank you for stopping by today and joining me for some spooky card making fun! I hope you enjoyed my project and all the inspiration on the blog this week.

Have a great day! Elaine x
