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.

Hi everyone,

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

Like I said last week, the Halloween season has started, so I made a Halloween STAMPtember card for sure. I started with the background like I normally do, and had chosen the colors green and black for my color palette. Distress Oxide Twisted Citron, Distress Ink Peeled Paint, Distress Oxide Spray Peeled Paint and Black Soot, along with Nuvo Shimmer powder Fallen Leaves and Storm Cloud were all used in my first layer. 

 

From the STAMPtember release I have the Interlocking stamp and I love how it turned out in this grungy spooky card, I used it with Distress Oxide Twisted Citron and Clear Embossing powder. It was a bit in the back so I highlighted some areas with Nuvo Shimmer Powder Fallen Leaves and a water brush. For the witches, I had to make them green, and used Distress Crayon Twisted Citron for that.

STAMPtember party 2021

  By      , , , 15 comments

Hi everyone,

The most exiting month of the year in crafting is here, Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember®! The whole month of September is a celebration full of collaborations with different companies and fun promotions. In this blog post you can also find an amazing promotion! 
But first I have to tell you about the incredible party we're having today! Lots of amazing creative talent are sharing what they have made with this new amazing STAMPtember® release. You can find all the details of this party and who's joining at the Simon Says Stamp Blog. 



From this release I had the pleasure to create with the amazing Simon Says Stamp Interlocking Leaves stamp. I love that you can also make them into feathers like I did for this card. I started with stamping it in VersaMark and used the Simon Says Stamp Rose Gold Embossing Powder. I'm not really great in coloring, so using Embossing Powder helps to stay within the lines. 

 

I only used to colors for this card, Distress Oxide Worn Lipstick and Distress Oxide Spray Salvaged Patina. To make the third purply color I mixed both of the colors. After I was finished coloring the leaves within the lines I used lots of water to make the ink move and also fill in the background as I didn't color it.
