I couldn’t make just one card with this adorable ghost so I made two more! These were so much fun to put together. I used elements from the Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Mug Additions to dress up these vellum cuties instead of the mug. And for one of the scenes, I got a little creative and used what I think are mummy wraps and the broomstick handle to create a spooky fence. Both cards feature some older Pretty Pink Posh stencils, (the green one is actually from a Valentine’s Day stencil!) and die cuts colored with Copic markers. All the details are listed below. Thanks for stopping by!
STEPS
1.) Lets start with the backgrounds. I used A2 sized white cardstock panels and inked one in a lavender. Then, using slightly darker inks, I stenciled some background designs using stencils from Pretty Pink Posh. I splattered each one with some coordinating Mica stains that are very shimmery and beautiful in real life. I also added some thinned gouache paint splatters as well.
For the frames, I used the negative pieces left from die cutting the Hello Bluebird Designs Gallery Frame. The frame itself didn’t leave enough space for my scenes so I decided to use these. I then inked them in the coordinating colors to match the backgrounds.
2.) Next, I die cut all the elements I wanted to use in white cardstock. I layered two pieces of vellum behind each stitched ghost frame and glued them in place. I love that you can see through the ghosts to the backgrounds! I colored all the remaining elements with Copic markers and then attached everything.
3.) I inked both scripty sentiments in the coordinating background colors, creating an ombre effect. I doubled these up with cardstock for a little more weight and glued them in place. For the secondary sentiments, I heat embossed them in white and stamped the eeeeeek in black.
4.) For embellishments, I added Glossy Accents to the cat nose and added some sparkle to the stars and moon with a glitter marker. The last thing was to attach the panels to A2 top-fold card bases.
