The background was created with torn papers, sponge and distress inks from Ranger: Barn Red was applied at the bottom of the sky level; next application was Worn Lipstick, and then Spiced Marmalade. I finished off with more Barn Red around the edges and rubbed an almost dry sponge of Barn Red over the lighter colors.
The ground is masked off at the bottom and at sky level to sponge on Pine Needles then I removed the mask and sponged on more of the same color so it would come out lighter and achieve a depth. A very light sponging of Black Soot was also applied on the edges.
The haunted house is from QuicKutz, I cut a full piece in black then placed small pieces of white over the window and front porch opening of the die and cut. These pieces were inserted in the opening and attached on the back with single sided tape. They are colored with Copic markers: Y13,17,19. They were applied in the order listed starting at the bottom,13 was applied a second time to blend all the colors together.
The tree comes with the haunted house. I used the Black Soot to ink distress and a metal ball stylus to deboss to resembled bark.
The fence and bats are Martha Stewart punches. The bats were scored on the front with the metal ball stylus then embossed on the back side between the lines using a metal ball stylus and folded paper towel for cushion. To see a close up of the bats, click my direct to card blog link below, youÂ’ll also see the front view envelope and insert.
All punch outs and die cuts were attached with AleeneÂ’s tacky glue.
The witch is not having a good day but at least she’s hangin on! I stamped it with Memento – Tuxedo black, then masked off the rubber over the witch and stamped again with Brilliance Moonlight White then heat embossed with white sparkle powder and touched up in a couple areas with the Signo white gel pen.
