Shimmer and Shine Halloween card with video tutorial

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/
Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Shimmer and Shine".



Yes, it's time for the first Halloween card of the season. I keep repeating it every year, but it's true, Halloween is my favorite season because I love the spooky and creepy very much. I went for an orange background that is made with Distress Oxide and Distress Ink. With different stencils I made as much depth as possible to the background.

 

To add shimmer and shine to the project, I made a spray of Nuvo Mousse Pure Platinum, but also applied it to the Raven die and applied it also on the circles with a water brush. To add more shimmer and shine I've used Martha Stewart Gunmetal Metallic paint in combination with Texture Paste and also the Raven got a basic layer of the Gunmetal paint.
The most shinny I've added is the foil cardstock behind the "Happy" and I finished it with some Wink or Stella Glitter brush for the shimmer.
