Greetings! You've got Kathi here today to share a project with you. This week the team is showcasing products by by Lavinia Stamps. Since Halloween merch is in the stores, it's time to get ready. I've created a Halloween scene with Gus, the Witches' Hat, Willow Arch, and the Moon Clear Polymer Stamps on a background created with Dark Denim, and Blue Lagoon Elements Inks.
Here's my card!
When I use clear stamps, I often use stamps' acetate index sheet and a stamping platform to position the stamps. That's what I did with this card to achieve the placement that I wanted for Witches' Hat atop Gus-the-owl's head.
Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the Witches' Hat Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps twice — once onto the image panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper.
The sticker papaer version was fussy-cut and placed over its counterpart on the image panel. I realized that Gus's feathers would overlap the witch hat, so I removed and retained the Witches' Hat mask and stamped the Witches' Hat again onto repositionable sticker paper. This time I just cut along the bottom of the brim of the witch hat, leaving the top part intact. Place the incomplete mask over its counterpart on the image panel, but keep the other Witches' Hat mask!
Place the Gus Clear Polymer Stamp facedown over the masked Witches' Hat. Ink the stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and stamp twice — once onto the image panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper.
Remove the second and incompletely cut mask from the image panel. Replace it with the reserved completely-cut mask.
Fussy-cut the sticker paper version of the owl and place it over Gus on the image panel as a mask.
Position the Willow Arch Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps facedown beneath Gus's feet. Ink the stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and stamp twice — once onto the image panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper.
Fussy-cut the sticker paper version of the Willow Arch and place it over its counterpart on the image panel as a mask.
Position the Moon Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps facedown on the upper left of the image panel. Ink the stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and stamp twice — once onto the image panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper. Fussy-cut the sticker paper and place it over its counterpart on the image panel.
Sponge or brush Dark Denim and Blue Lagoon Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps over the masked images onto the image panel. Use a Fine Spray Misters by Spectrum Noir, filled with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol, to mist the masked image panel. This will blend the inks, add some mottling, but won't pill the paper.
Use a paint marker or white paint and brush to add white splatter to the background.
Remove all masks and use Copic markers to color all elements of the scene. Use pearlescent white chalk to add shine to the moon.
Use a Clear Gelly Roll Stardust Glittering Pen by Sakura of America to add glittery details around the edge of the moon.
Trim the image panel to 4.75" x 6.75" and edge with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Inks by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko. Adhere the image panel to a black 5" x 7" card.
