Monster Reunion, Tim Holtz

09/13/2019

I say this every year, and I will say it again- I LOVE Halloween and wish the season was a tad bit longer to allow for more creating. I am happy I took some time to create a few Halloween cards – and got a chance to play with some new Tim Holtz goodies!

Monster Reunion, Tim Holtz

For this first card I started by creating a fun background with Distress Oxide Sprays. Want to know a secret? This was just my practice background for this scarecrow card I created. Instead of tossing it I kept it on my studio table, and it worked perfectly with this creation! It is a mixture of Black Soot, Rusty Hinge, Frayed Burlap, and Seedless Preserves. Layering, and adding water with each layer. Heat setting in between, and just PLAYING.

I stamped the fun little pumpkin from Monster Reunion colored with Copics, and fussy cut out. To get the in-between spots I used a Fiskars Finger X-acto- love that thing! To finish off the background I stamped the really fun and spooky spider webs from Life of the Party.

I then splattered some Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust. Lastly, for the sentiment, I “word fetti”, cut it out with scissors and inked it a bit with Pumice Stone Distress Oxide.

I had so much fun creating this card with this adorable monster! I stamped him, Copic colored him, and fussy cut him out. For the background, I ink blended with Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide inks. I then took the mini stencil that looked like stretched gauze, and a clean ink blending tool and smooshed some Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust through it. I tore 2 pieces of black cardstock and adhered to the background to really frame in the monster.

Hope you are inspired by these wicked spooky cards! There is still plenty of time to play with some Halloween goodies!

    Scary-cute cards, I love them! I wonder if I can get my boss to just send my check to Simon Says Stamp… it would cut out the middle man and save ALL of us time. ๐Ÿ™‚
