More Halloween spooky fun with Blockheads' Ghastlie Gang Stamps. Today, I have three cards. Hopefully this will help you to get going on your own Halloween cards. Here is a look at the stamp set. How fun! These images are just great for Halloween cards.
Materials:
Ghastlie Gang Stamp Set (Blockheads)
Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
Copic Markers or Marvy Alcohol ink Markers
White CS suitable for use with Copics
Distress Inks (Ranger)
Spiced Marmalade
Rusty Hinge
Stormy Sky
Black Soot
Victorian Velvet
Embossing Folders
Dot Matrix (Tim Holtz)
D'vine Swirls (Cuttlebug)
Spellbinders
Wonky Rectangles
Standard Circles Small
Ribbons
Gems
DP with Halloween theme
CS: Orange, Dark Green, Black, Yellow
The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics. I dry embossed half of the piece of CS. Distress inks (Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge, Stormy Sky, Black Soot) were used to distress the Cs. Here is a close up. Pretty Ghastlie huh? Do you like his yellow teeth?
For Card number two, the image was stamped with Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. The image was cut with a Spellbinders die and layered with orange CS. I cut the candy corn, pumpkin, and Boo from some Halloween DP. And layered on a piece of DP, Dark green CS onto a yellow card base.
And, here a few close ups.
And, card number three is made in the same way. In this card I used the embossing folder and a Spellbinders die.
Ain't she sweet?? The dry embossing was distressed with Rusty Hinge and Soot black. The image was distressed with Victorian Velvet, Stormy Sky, and Black Soot. Trick or Treat was cut from the Halloween DP. To place the sentiment on the top of the card, I glued it to a longer piece of Black CS matching the top and side edges exactly. The lower portion of the black CS is glued to the inside of the card front.
Well, I have to say, I had a blast making these cards. The images are just so fun.
