This is fpr Schirmcat's challenge to use one of Nicole Kidman's costumes from Moulin Rouge as inspiration. I chose the first one pictured, Black Diamonds found here: http://www.costumersguide.com/cr_mr.shtml
I embossed Victorian Lace background stamp on Basic Black in silver e.p. For the soot stamping I pressed the haunted house down into the freshly burned glossy cardstock to lift off some of the soot and then I stamped the same image over top this, a little off to the side in Basic Gray ink. Sprayed to seal. Mounted this up on dimensionals.
My friend Julie got me thinking along these soot stamping lines with this really cool card found here: Soot Embossing Train of Happiness by Julestampsx3 at Splitcoaststampers
