Happy Haunting Card - Masking Technique

Hey BPM Fans,

Here is quick background done using a simple masking technique and blending distress inks.  It is a useful technique that allows you layer your stamping and avoid having to fussy cut a intricate and delicate image like this witch silhouette.

Grunge Cobwebs Halloween Background by Pam Bray Designs

Witch Silhouette Halloween Rubber Stamp

Other Supplies:

• black ink pad
• silver mirror cardstock
• orange, green, purple ink pads
• ink blending tool
• silver glitter embossing powder
• heat gun
• decorative buttons
• clear mounting block

Directions:
1. First stamp the witch silhouette onto the middle of white cardstock using black ink.  Without re-inking, stamp the witch onto scrap card.  Create a mask by cutting around the witch leaving a generous border.  (TIP: The mask does not need a perfect image as it is going to be discarded and will not appear on the final project.)

2.  Next, place the mask over witch image. Load the cobweb stamp with embossing ink and stamp the design over the masked witch image.

3. Remove and discard the mask.  Then apply silver glitter embossing powder to the cobwebs, shake off the excess, and heat set.

4. Next, apply ink to the background using a ink blending tool. Add lime green around the witch to create an eerie glow and then blend orange & purple randomly to bring out the cobweb background pattern.

5. Matte the stamped image with silver mirror cardstock and adhere to a black card base. Next, add a 3D embellishment for her to hold.

6. Then stamp a "Happy Haunting" greeting using black ink and matte with silver mirror cardstock. Adhere it to the lower right partially overlapping the edge of the card.  Finally, embellish the card with cat button.

Unleash Your Weird Art Journal Page

Hello all

I am back with an art journal page using the color theme for April's Challenge. 

Black and red made me want to use skulls, so I did.

Stamp sets used

DriBonez 

Grunge Cobwebs Halloween Background 

Halloween On A Shelf 

Stencils

Black gesso

Red Paint

White Paint

Brayer

Black ink pad

Red ink pad

Marker pens

Start the page off by drawing the words onto a plain sheet using a marker pen,

 then coloring them in.

Cut out the words and put them to one side for now.

Use the Grungy Cobwebs Background stamp and use it over a blank page. Next use a brayer to roll red paint over a stencil and then use the stencil like a stamp across the page.

Add the next stencil using black gesso

Spray the whole page with black mist spray and leave it to dry. Next add white paint to the background by rolling it over a stencil.

Add the words to the page and then stamp out a few skulls from the Dribonze set and the Halloween On a Shelf set. Cut them out add add them around the page to finish.

Join us for more inspiration....
