Vintage Book of Spells

Hi, friends! It's design team member Walter on the blog today.  October is the time of the year when we turn our attention to all things Halloween.  What's more Halloween than witches?  One of my favorite movies about witches is Hocus Pocus.  I never get tired of watching it!  It inspired my design for today's card.  I wanted to prominently feature a page from a very old book of spells - and I Brake for Stamps has the perfect set for it!  My card has lots of vintage grunge, a witch flying in front of the moon, and a potion for Witches Brew.

Here's what I used to make it:

• Halloween Half Sheet #1
  
• A2 Black Card Base
• 4"x5.25" Cream Card Panel
• 3.5"x5" Vintage Paper Panel
• Tim Holts Distress Inks: Antique Linen, Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Ground Espresso
• Gold Metallic Marker
• Brutus Monroe Gold Acrylic Bubbles

Here's how I made it:

• Used the deckle edge blade of my paper trimmer to cut the 4"x5.25" cream card panel.
• Ran Ground Expresso Distress Ink around the edges of the card panel; used a blending brush to add grunge to the card panel with Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.

• Used the deckle edge blade of my paper trimmer to cut the 3.5"x5" vintage paper panel.
• Ran Ground Expresso Distress Ink around the edges of the card panel; used a blending brush to add grunge to the card panel with Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.
• Stamped the witch image onto the vintage paper panel using Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
• Stamped the Witches Brew stamp under the witch image using Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

• Stamped the Spell Book stamp onto panel with Ground Espresso Distress Ink.
• Used gold metallic marker to color in the moon.

• Adhered stamped panel to the cream card panel using double sided foam tape.
• Adhered combined panel to card base with double sided tape.
• Ran the gold metallic marker around the edges of the card.

This is such a fun card!  These images lend themselves so well to a vintage design.  It really looks like a page from an old book of spells!

Thanks for spending some time reminiscing with me today!  See you again soon.
