Hi Everyone, Halloween is fast approaching so I thought for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs this week it would be
nice to share some inspiration with you all.
I decided to make
my own inky background. You will notice from the photograph I taped my die cut
in place along with the die, applying my Distress Inks and a Web Stencil for
depth.
I then went around the perimeter with a Black Fine Liner Pen before
lifting my die cut off. This helps to frame your inky detail.
My web I added some ink along with some Rock Candy
Distress Stickles, double layering Happy Halloween for a Shadow Effect.
My tree was cut out in White Cardstock, inking the edges
and adding Distress Stickles to the Black Cardstock for an eerie glistening
effect, off setting my tree I glued in place.

ReplyDeleteOver here we don't 'celebrate' Haloween, although it is getting a bit more popular. But I like your card very much Julie, especially the 'shadoweffects' of it. Great job!!
