It is Wednesday and it’s time for a Freshly Brewed Project Blog Hop. This week’s theme is Halloween.
Just like my pumpkin themed card yesterday I didn’t think that I had a stamp set that I could use. That was until I found the Banner Year Stamp Set.
I also had one of my lovely Coffee & Card ladies recently say that one of the stampes from the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set reminded her of a ghost – so I combined the two for this card.
I started by choosing the colours for the card – Basic Gray, Basic White, Smoky Slate and Black.
The ‘ghosts’ were stamped using Smoky Slate that I stamped off first. Then I fussy cut the ghost and brushed it with Clear Wink of Stella.
For the background panel I stamped the cobweb image from the Banner Year Stamp Set using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The ‘boo’ was stamped using Basic Gray ink.
The bats were stamped in black and, once dry, painted with Clear Wink of Stella.
Before adding the bats and ghosts to the stamped layer I wrapped and tied some Metallic Mesh Ribbon around it. The ghosts and bats were then added using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To finish the ghosts I added some Matte Black Dots.
Then I stamped and trimmed down the ‘happy haunting’ greeting before using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up.
I stamped the same greeting and bats on the card insert. The bats were also added to the envelope.
For someone who “doesn’t do Halloween” I am really happy with the way this card turned out. What do you think?
Make sure you pop by and see what the rest of the Freshly Brewed Project Team have created.
Until next time, happy stamping.
