This week I wanted to challenge myself to a scenery card. Normally they intimidate me, but I love to blend skies and backgrounds so I thought why not step outside of my comfort zone. When I saw the new Frightfully Cute Bundle I knew I would love it to make a cute Halloween Card.
I immediately fell in love with the dies out of this bundle and what was normally a challenge became instant ease. When I saw the dies I knew I had to pull out my Black Glitter Paper. I absolutely love how the fence turned out and can’t wait to use the other dies like the spider web and witch hat.
PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:
- Basic Black Cardstock – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ Scored at 4 1/4″
- 2 Pieces of Basic White Cardstock – 4″ x 5 1/4″ (1) Piece for Blending (1) Piece for inside to stamp sentiment
I created a collage below to help you with the steps.
TIPS:
- When Masking You can Use the Circle Die from the Frightfully Cute Bundle or if you do not want a slight halo you can use a 1 1/4″ Circle Punch or Die. Otherwise, you can move your mask around like I did to remove the halo.
- For the Perfect Blend and avoid harsh circles on your project take your blending brush and hold it at the base of the handle and in a circular motion ink your brush and then in the same motion add it to your project. I started with Misty Moonlight, came in with Rich Razzleberry for the perfect night sky. Then with my Memento Black Ink swirled the bottom for a spookier effect.
- When Heat Embossing your label use either a crafting tweezer or even a clothespin to avoid burning your fingers.
- When adhering the die pieces down you can either use the adhesive sheets or use a dauber, liquid glue, and silicone mat (Image Below)
