Greetings! It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here today to share a card with you! This week's challenge is *Leaves* which is appropriate as it's the first day of autumn.
Here's a Halloween card and extra leaves created with the
Moonlight Mischief Clear Stamp Set 1295 by Janet Klein and the Woodsy Vibes Die Set 93 — both by AALL and Create. I also used the Hills Acetate Stencil/Mask Set by Lavinia Stamps, three colors of Elements Premium Dye Inks by Lavinia Stamps, Medieval Blue VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko, Clear Gloss Embossing Powder by Wow!, and Sparkle Clear Overlay Brush Pens by Spectrum Noir,
Use the branches and leaves frame die and the leaves dies from the Woodsy Vibes Die Set 93 by AALL and Create to cut Bristol Paper. Retain the center cut out from the frame die to use for the background of the card.
Color the branches and leaves frame die-cut as well as all of the leaves with alcohol markes. Color both sides of the frames to make sure that there are no nasty white edges. Alcohol marker bleed-through will just add to the overall look of the leaves. Set the branches and leaves frame and leaves die-cuts aside.
Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the witch, the witch kitten, and the moon from the Moonlight Mischief Clear Stamp Set 1295 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create onto alcohol-ink friendly cardstock. Fussy-cut all images and color with alcohol markers. Use a black marker or multiliner to edge the die-cuts. Use a white paint pen to add highlights to the witch's and cat's eyes. Use the Sparkle Clear Overlay Brush Pens by Spectrum Noir to add sparkle to the colored fussy-cut moon. Set the moon, the cat, and the witch aside.
Add low-tack tape to the reverse of the retained Woodsy Vibes center die-cut, then place it onto a magnetic craft surface. Place the flattest of the Hills Acetate Stencil/Mask Set by Lavinia Stamps across the bottom part of the Woodsy Vibes center die-cut so that it's secured by the low-tack tape. You can add magnets to be certain that the die-cut won't move. Brush Dark Denim Elements Premium Dye Ink by Lavinia Stamps over the mask and around the edges of the top part of the die-cut. Brush Blue Lagoon Elements Premium Dye Ink over the darker blue, blending as you go.
Add white acrylic paint or bleed-proof white paint to a small container. Use a pipette to add Pearlescent Glitz Spray from the Glitz Spritz Spray Set by Lindy's Stamp Gang to the white paint. Mix well. Dip the bristles of a toothbrush into the paint and run a finger across the toothbrush's bristles to splatter white onto the blue background to create a starry sky.
Remove (and clean) the Hills Mask and brush Pine Elements Premium Dye Ink onto the bottom part of the die-cut. Heat set the die-cut.
Pounce an anti-static pouch onto the die-cut, then place it onto the base of a stamping platform. Place the "Moonlight Mischief" sentiment stamp facedown onto the lower right hand corner of the die-cut. Ink the sentiment stamp with Medieval Blue VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp. Remove the die-cut from the stamping platform, pour Clear Gloss Embossing Powder by Wow! onto the wet ink, dump the excess back into its container, and heat set the powder.
Adhere the colored branches and leaves frame die-cut to a white speckled blue card that is slightly larger than the frame die-cut. Adhere the inked and stamped Woodsy Vibes center die-cut back into the aperture of the frame. Adhere the colored fussy-cut witch, the witch cat, and the moon as shown to finish the card.
