Hi!
I am already in the Halloween spirit! I know it's still pretty far off, but it's one of my favorite times of year and I couldn't resist creating a fun card using the new
Black Coffin Cards from
Crafter's Companion.
There are also some new
Halloween stamp sets coming out, so I used them along with the card to create this fun project!!
First up, I colored in this little skull from
The Haunting set. He's scary and silly at the same time, right? I love it! I used my
Spectrum Noir markers. I combined greens and greys together to create a more realistic look. Don't be afraid to combine different color families together with your markers. You can achieve some really amazing effects! For his skull, I used: LG1, LG2, IG1, IG2, IG8, CT1 (for the eyes) and the Blender. The spider was created using IG4, IG6 and the Blender pen.
Here is the finished skull before I cut him out:
The multiple layers of color give it a pretty cool effect, huh?
Then I decided to color in the pumpkins and fence from the
Look Whooo's Watching set.
For the pumpkins, I used OR2, OR3, TN5 and TN9. The fence was TN3,TN5 and TN6.
For the space in between the slots, I used True Black.
I fussy cut everything out and I adhered it to the card base using my
Extra Strong Permanent Tape Runner.
I trimmed off the excess image from the back of the card.
Then I grabbed
The Haunting set again and used a sentiment from it. I added some
Vintage Photo Distress Ink to the
Ultra Smooth Premium Paper to soften it up. I didn't want the harsh white paper on that shimmering black background.
I distressed the top and bottom of the sentiment, too. I thought it would really fit with the card. Then I trimmed off the excess from the sentiment, too (from the back again).
Here are a few more looks:
