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.

If the Broom Fits...

Hello Girls,
Here is my "Quick Idea" for the Blank Page Muse Blog. I wanted a non-scary & non-creepy Halloween card. The "Witch Silhouette" image was the perfect answer. Spiders are definitely not my favorite thing...but a black gem covered spider gets two thumbs up. My cute little guy dangles from a sparkly thread and can swing freely when the card is handled.  Finally, I finished the card with a quirky sentiment.
Check out all the clever sentiments in fabulous fun fonts available from BPM HERE.

Witch Moon Card

Hello Ladies,
I just love silhouettes and this witch is simply perfect. A mildly creepy moonlit night background was just what the sexy silhouette witch needed. I hope you try your hand at masking your own moonlit sky and don't forget to share it on our Fan Page.

Witch Silhouette Halloween Rubber Stamp

Other Supplies:
black ink pad
clear mounting block
patterned paper
chalk
blue ink
ink blending tool
2.5" circle punch
white dome gem
pumpkin embellishment
ribbon

Directions:
1.  Stamp the bare tree image twice onto white cardstock with black ink.

2.  Stamp the witch silhouette onto the middle using black ink.

3. Place a 2.5" circle over the top of the witch to mask the area.  Then carefully use an ink applicator tool to blend blue ink to create the sky.  Remove the mask to reveal the moon in the night sky.

4.  Apply yellow chalk to the circular void created by the mask. Shade the moon darker along the edges to create a spherical appearance.

5.  Mount the stamped background with a narrow edge of patterned paper. Tie a faux bow with copper ribbon and attach it around the left edge.

6.  Attach the stamped image to a blue card base. Add a pumpkin embellishment semi-overlapping the lower right corner. Finally, adhere a large white dome gem to the witch's hand.
