The LSC is to make a tent topper card so I did just that! I limited myself to using only flat embellishments so the die cut cat, graffiti stars and hand cut bats worked fine and there is no worry about extra postage either! I also limited my self to not using background stamps which is hard for me to do so Jen better be proud of me!
-The image is colored with re inkers and artist brush. The edges are sponged with distressing ink. I also used distressing ink on the orange and designer paper.
-The die cut cat has white ¼” punched behind the eyes and nose. I used black and clear sparkle gel pen to color the eyes and the nose was a bad stamp of the bat that I put to use. White Chalks/Pastels were used to define the legs.
-After cutting out the ghost I used distressing ink to tone down the white and he also got a bit of shading done with re inker.
-After cutting out the bats I went around the white edges with a black marker. For the bats I used 1/8 and 1/6” punches to cut the lower part of the wings rather than try to scissor cut the circle portion.
-The stars are attached with Diamond Glaze, bat and cat with tacky glue and the ghost is just a piece of double sided tape so he shows a bit of dimension on the card.
