Lost in the darkness

Hello and welcome, 

I love the new stamp set Framed frights from Tim Holtz! 

So I used it for this little card. 

I started with the background, a piece of Watercolor cardstock. Then I used the Moon mask from Tim and the Distress Mica stains. It was a bit tricky but I think I managed good enough. Inked the edges with DI Black soot. 

Then I put the stamp in my stamping tool and stamped with Distress embossing ink, then used black embossing powder. Heated with embossing gun. 

Then I stamped the image again, embossed and so on. Then fuzzy cut the ghost, the skulls and that “statue”. I colored them with DI’s and I also put a small amount of Ranger Stickles in Platinum on one of the skulls tooth. It is difficult to see on the photo but it is cool in real life. It is the left skull that have a Platinum tooth. Inked the edges with DI Black soot. 

I used 3 D foam to adhere the fuzzy cut images for dimension. 

I stamped and embossed one of the text’s on the left side of the image.

I cut a piece of Distress cardstock to layer the background on, and sanded the edges. 

As a cardbase I cut a piece of Ideaology Kraftstock and sanded the edges. 

I think it was so much fun to try this image together with the moon mask. (Need to practice more though😊).

Trick or treat

Hello and welcome, 

Halloween making has started. One of my favorite times of year. 

I love the colors and I also love the creepyness. 

This card is not a creepy card but it was fun to make with the new Boo crazy stamp’s from Tim Holtz.

I started with the background which I made last year. Easy. It is cut from Mixed media heavystock and used with Moon mask from Tim, THMSK01 together with Distress Mica stains. 

I stamped with the batstamp from CMS451 The scarecrow and then used the new bat stencil THS184 Batty with black texture paste in the upper left. 

The clouds in the upper right corner is from the new die set 666684 Vault fright night, cut from Watercolor cardstock and dipped in Pumice stone DI and water on my craftmat. Dried with heat tool. Inked the edges with Black soot DI. 

I stamped the big spiderweb from CMS495 Boo crazy with Black soot Archival ink on the lower part of the background, then I stitched around the edges with my sewing machine. Finally inked the background with DI Black soot. The “Trick or treat” label is cut from Watercolor cardstock, inked the same way as the clouds, stamped with embossing ink and used black embossing powder. Stitched to the background.

The ghosts are stamped on Watercolor paper and colored with Pumice stone DI. I splattered some ink on them too, and stitched a little square with sewing machine on the big ghost as if it has repaired the sheet. 😊. 

I cut a piece of orange Coredinations cardstock, sanded and inked to put behind the background. Then I made a black cardblank which I inked the edges on with Picket fence DI. The ghosts and the other card layers are adhered with 3D foam for dimension. 

I hope to able to make some more Halloween cards during this season. For the moment I have some fever and are quite tired.
