Ho! Ho! Ho!

Hello and welcome, 

Today’s card is also made with the new ghost stamps from Tim Holtz. I wanted to make a colorful card.

I started with the background and cut a piece of Watercolor cardstock. Then I sprayed some Distress Mica stains, spritzed some water and heated. Dried with heat tool. Then I used some Distress Oxides and water on my craft mat. Dipped carefully and dried again. Repeated until happy. I used black acrylic paint and splattered some on the background as well.

Next up, the THS171 Fractured stencil and some black texture paste. Let air dry. After that I stitched with my sewing machine, and inked the edges with Black soot DI.

I stamped the Ho! Ho! Ho! with embossing ink and added black embossing powder. Heated. 

I stamped the ghosts on Watercolor paper and colored them with Distress Inks. Inked the edges with Black soot DI. Then I stamped the spiderwebs on the ghosts with Black soot Archival ink, using CMS346 Tangled webs stamps. I also splattered some black acrylic paint on the ghosts. And spritzed some water droplets on them and heat dried.

Of course you need a mask even if you are a ghost👻,  so I die cut a mask from 664195 Masquerade (an old die set), inked the mask with embossing ink and used black embossing powder. I used a white Posca pen for the white dots in the eyes. 

Insedd 3D foam to adhered the ghost to the background for dimension. 

Then I cut a piece of Watercolor cardstock and inked it with orange and violet DI. Spritsen some water droplets and heat dried. Inked the edges with DI Black soot. Stamped the ”Trick or treat” with Distress embossing ink and then used black embossing powder. Heated. 

I used mini fasteners to adhere that piece to the card. 

I cut a piece of orange cardstock, inked the edges with Black soot DI and adhered the background with 3D foam. Then I made a card base from black Ideaology cardstock which I sanded the edges on. 3D foam in between the layers. 

Thank you for visiting,
