Whimsy Stamps - NBUS Halloween

Hello there.  It's back to spooky season.  With so many NBUS (Never Before Used Stuff) Halloween products from Whimsy Stamps (WS), I used five of them to create an A6 size (4.5x6.25-inches) spooky Halloween card.  

Started by die cutting a moon mask from NoFuss Masking Sheets with a Pierced and Stitched Circle die (the rest of the WS products are all NBUS).  Adhered the mask onto an A6 size Bristol panel, then ink blended Enchanted Garden fresh dye inks with Black Soot distress ink (DI) for the night sky.  Removed mask and added crater details on the moon with C00/0/1/2/3 Copic Sketch markers. 


Next, stamped the bats from Bramble Wreath around the moon followed by stencilling of the Halloween Expressions face and the Halloween Trees and Grasses with dark gray dye ink and Black Soot DI, respectively.  Die cut the Jack o'Lanterns Border from orange cardstock and ink blended Rusty Hing DI from the bottom up for a slight ombré effect.  Used a black Polycromos pencil to lightly add definition to them.  Backed their faces with yellow cardstock for a glow effect.  Last but not least, die cut the Happy Halloween sentiment from black and white cardstock to offset for a drop highlight.  Assembled the card onto a white A6 card base to finish.

  4. I had never thought about the Moon that way before, and now I’ve started to fear it. If that bloodthirsty beast were to crash down to Earth, it would be a total bloodbath... A super scary card!

  5. This card is one I'd enjoy receiving, Trina. The face in the moon is cleverly crafted and reflects the row of pumpkins so well. They are my favorite part of the card. tfs
