It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week is an "Anything Goes" theme and it's October! Hence, I created a Halloween card that my daughter called "weird". I'll let you judge for yourself.
My first step was to stamp the witch hat from Funny Accessories Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set by Katzelkraft twice with Copic-friendly black ink onto white cardstock — once onto the image panel and again onto repositionable sticker paper. The sticker paper version was fussy-cut and placed over the one on the image panel as a mask. The elephant from the Van Gogh Elephant Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set by Katzelkraft was positioned so that it would appear he were wearing the hat. He was stamped twice — once onto the image panel and again onto repositionable sticker paper. The sticker paper version was fussy-cut and placed over the one on the image panel as a mask. The easel was also stamped twice. This time, I stamped the skull from the Small Elements Clear Stamp Set 2 by That's Crafty onto the canvas on the easel, then I covered the easel with the fussy-cut sticker version as a mask.
The flattish hills from the Acetate Hills Mask Stencil Set by Lavinia Stamps was placed horizontally across the image panel, covering the bottom part. Grey and lavender inks Copic-friendly inks were brushed over a cloud stencil to create a brooding sky, fit for Halloween.
When the sky was done, the acetate hills mask was removed. Two colors of Copic-green ink were brushed over the masked image to create a grassy lawn.
The masks were all lifted and the elephant, the witch hat, the easel, and the skull painting were colored with Copic markers. Copics were also used to add details and shading to the lawn.
Post-It Notes were placed around the the painting on the easel the Tulip Red VersaFine Clair Ink was used to stamp Small Elements Clear Stamp Set 2 the drippy element from the Small Elements Clear Stamp Set 2.
Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink was used to stamp the spider from the Pumpkin Party Clear Stamp Set 1055 dangling from the witch hat and one of the birds from the Bird Collection Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps atop the easel.
Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink was used to stamp the word "Happy" from the Lots of Words Clear Stamp Set by That's Crafty and "Halloween" from the Pumpkin Party Clear Stamp Set 1055 by Autour de Mwa for AALL and Create.
The drips on the painting weren't looking drippy enough so I used a red paint pen to enhance the drips and to add a red hourglass to the spider's back.
The image panel was matted with red cardstock and adhered to a grey 6" square card.
