Happy Halloween

Hi there! You''ve got Kathi here again to share another project with you! This week the Topflight Stamps Design team is showcasing products by by Lavinia Stamps. I've made another Halloween card, this time with the Sticker Stencil Set 6, Luka Cat Clear Polymer Stamp Set, the Wands and Spells Clear Polymer Stamp Set, the Corks Clear Polymer Stamp Set, and the Nightfall Sentiments Clear Polymer Stamp Set


Here's the card!


 I've always been fascinated with seeing objects enclosed in glass containers, so I had to try the Lavinia Stamps' Sticker Stencils, especially the ones that are bottles, flasks, or other containers. They are a lot of fun to use and yield great results. 

Making this card was a little complicated, but I have a feeling it will taker longer to read my explanation of its creation. 

Here's the brief version, I used both the outer part of one of the bottle stencils. I stamped the Wands and Spells Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko, masked the books, and brushedElements Inks by Lavinia Stamps over the stencil towards the inside of the bottle.

Light grey ink was brushed over the Stones Stencil by Lavinia Stamps onto the middle of the bottle. Luka Cat Clear Polymer Stamp   was stamped atop the masked books with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink

The center sticker stencil was placed over its counterpart on the image panel and the outside sticker stencil was placed back on the carrier.

Light grey ink was brushed over the bottle shaped sticker stencil to cover the background. Light grey ink was brushed over Stones Stencil, then Graphite Elements Ink was brushed over the lighter grey to deepen the color of the stones. 

The sticker stencil covering the bottle was removed. The mask over the Wands and Spells was removed. HennaOliveRusset OrangeSahara, and Merlot Elements Inkpads were squeezed to add some ink to the inside of the cover. This ink was picked up with a wet paintbrush and used to paint the spell books. 

A wet paint brush was used to remove the ink and add a highlight to the bottle.

Acorn VersaFine Clair Ink was used to stamp one of the corks from the Corks Clear Polymer Stamp Set, heat set, then colored with a tan watercolor marker. 

The bottle didn't look glassy enough so I placed the outer stencil back onto the panel and brushed more  Blue Atoll Elements Inks over the stencil onto the interior of the bottle.That sticker stencil was removed and placed back onto its carrier. 


The image panel was trimmed to 4.5" x 6.5" and edged with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink. The die-cut sentiment was adhered as shown.

A piece of Aqua Kraft Core  cardstock was cut to 4.75" x 6.75" and the edges were distressed. This piece was used to mat the image panel, then adhered to a 5" x 7" black card.
