Topflight Stamps: If the Broom Fits...

It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week's theme is "Anything Goes". It's my favorite time of the year so I've created a Halloween card with stamps and dies by AALL and Create and sparkly sprays by Lindy's Stamp Gang.

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the witch, the cat, the broom, and the cloud (three times) from the Free Broom Rides Clear Stamp Set by Janet Klein for AALL and Create.

Fussy-cut all of the images, color them with alcohol markers (I used Copics and Olos which are listed on my blog), and edge them with a black pen. Use a white gel pen to add highlights to the witch's and cat's eyes. Use a silver metallic fine tip pen to add the binding around the broom's straw. Set the colored images aside, well away from your spraying area.

Use the Building Silhouettes Die 58 by AALL and Create to cut heavy water-friendly black cardstock. I discovered that you could extend your cuts horizontally which worked out really well.

Spray the Building Silhouettes black die-cut with Steel Shimmer Glitz Spray from the Glitz Spritz Spray Set by Lindy's Stamp Gang and heat set thoroughly. Turn the die-cut to the reverse , add two sided tape to cover the windows and doors of the Building Silhouettes die-cut, then flip the die-cut back over to the front so that the sticky part of the tape is in the windows and doors.

Cut yellow vellum with the Building Silhouettes Die 58. Inset the window and door vellum die-cuts into their corresponding apertures on the inked Building Silhouettes die-cut.

Cut a piece of white mixed media cardstock to 7.25" x 5.25" for the card's background. Spray it with Azure Sea Asters Stardust Spray from the Mermaid Sea Shells Stardust Spray Set by Lindy's Stamp Gang and the Screamin' Banchee Black Stardust Spray from the Haunted Halloween Stardust Spray Set by Lindy's Stamp Gang. Heat set the sprayed cardstock. This combination makes a really nice shimmery night sky.

Trim the bottom from the Building Silhouettes die-cut, then adhere it to base of the blue/black sprayed background panel so that the witch and cat will fit atop the broomstick in the sky area.

Trim the layered background to 6.75" x 4.75" and edge with a black marker. Adhere the layered background to a 7" x 5" black card.

Use the moon die from the Roadway Vistas Die Set 78 by AALL and Create to cut a scrap of white mixed media cardstock.

Adhere three clouds to the sky area of the background. Adhere the moon die-cut as shown. Use wet glue and two-sided tape to adhere the witch and the cat to the broom and to adhere the broom to the Building Silhouettes die-cut and the background.

Add the sentiment stickers to finish the card.
