Textured Halloween card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

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

I didn't live up to the intention I had to made last week to use the Moon Masks on every Halloween card. I was inspired for this card by the Death's-Head Hawk Moth, such a terrifying movie. I didn't follow the color palette of the moth. I'm really into the Halloween green colors

 

First I started with the background with all sorts of greens and black: Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn, Black Soot, Distress Ink Rustic Wilderness, Distress Oxide Spray Peeled Paint, and Nuvo Sparkle Spray Apple Spritzer. I stamped randomly with Undertaker and Messy stamps. In the corners I used the Spider Web die. For the focal point I used one of the big moth looking butterflies from the Specimen stamp set. I also stamped this on a transparent sheet. To give it texture I used Wings and Bones Mold set to add the skull.

Masked Moon Halloween card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

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

Just in time I received the new Moon Masks for this stencil challenge. Yippie! And immediately I wanted to try the technique that Tim had done during his introduction demo of these masks, and what a super cool effect that gives. I'm totally in love with it. 

First I used the smallest moon mask and I put some tape behind it to make sure it wouldn't shift, and then I started working with the sprays, Distress Oxide Spray Black Soot, Crushed Olive and Distress Spray Stain Peeled Paint. And of course I had to add a little shine with Nuvo Shimmer Powder Falling Leaves.

 

For the moon details, I used Distress Oxide Antique Linen and Hickory Smoke. I think those are perfect moon colors. For the stamps I used my all time favorite Halloween stamps, Mini Halloween #3. That owl is absolutely perfect in front of the moon, and the trick or treaters are just super fun and instantly making a completed scene. I added some texture with the Script stencil. I had a little trouble mixing the Texture Paste into a nice color. I've used all kinds of mediums, and it got a little too runny, but the messy look does have something to it and the sparkle from the Nuvo Sparkle Spray Apple Spritzer was worth it.
