Finally got to
making my first Hallowe’en card of the season, this one features a die cut, Layered
Jack-o-Lantern, and stamp, from the Pumpkinhead set, both by Tim Holtz.
I followed Linda’s
sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches for my card. I used my two pumpkins for the circle
elements and my chippies and Nuvo drops for the horizontal element. I really needed a third BOO! chippie to
finish off my line but only had one in each size so I’m going with one boo per
pumpkin and that’s why there’s only two.
I made both the
pumpkins from watercolour paper. The die
cut I coloured after cutting each of the pieces and then layered them up with
foam tape to add dimension. The stamped
image was double stamped, in black ink and then embossing so I could add clear
embossing powder and make the lines really pop.
I coloured it with my Distress Markers, which I also used to colour the
chippies before I topped them with clear embossing powder too.
For a bit more
interest to the background I spritzed the black cardstock with Perfect Pearls
Mist so it’s lovely and shiny. I stuck to a very traditional
Hallowe’en palette for this card and as it is rather dark I think it will work
well for one of the two male cards I need this Hallowe’en. With its masculine feel I am entering it in
the current Cardz 4 Guys challenge.
As I also have a
couple of pumpkins on my card I am also entering it at City Crafter for their
current challenge.
