I laid out all my stamp sets and just started playing. I started with this fun clock from the Hampton Arts Graphic 45 collection and decided to make it into a mini shaker. I stamped it multiple times on acetate and cardstock.
I cut out the clock and then cut out the center. I used that to draw where I wanted the opening on the front of card. I filled it with some rich colored sequins. That determined the colors I added to the front of the card.
I spent some time masking to get the layered effect of the definition and the owl.
My next one was inspired by the skull. I wanted to stamp him as my focal point. I then stamped the newspaper background using rusty hinge and a little spritz of water.
I wanted the skull to pop a little more so he received some shading with a watercolor pencil and waterbrush. I still wanted him to pop even more so I drew a rectangle around him with a permanent marker and then added more shading with the watercolor pencil and waterbrush.
I sponged the black on either side as the stamp didn't quite cover the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment on another piece of cardstock and coordinated the colors to blend in.
Have a spooktacular and safe Halloween!
