Something Dreadfully Wicked, Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous
Does anyone else love to create for the Halloween season? I LOVE all things Halloween. I love the color schemes, the imagination behind it, scary movies, and oh yeah, the candy! Although Tim can keep ALLLLL the candy corn and autumn mixes BLEGH!
For this card, I wanted to create a non-traditional Halloween card. I started with a 4.25″x 5.5″ piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock, and using all the word stamps from the new Rest In Peace stamp set, I stamped them all over creating a background. I stamped them with Black Soot Distress Ink, then with a wet paintbrush traced over all the words. Since Distress Oxide stays wet a bit longer because of the pigment properties and reacts with water because it is a Distress ink, it gives a fun watercolored look.
On another piece of Distress Watercolor cardstock, I stamped the skull with Versafine Onyx black, and embossed it with clear embossing. I then watercolored a rainbow ombre using Distress Inks.
- Wilted Violet
- Picked Raspberry
- Spiced Marmalade
- Mustard Seed
- Twisted Citron
- Salvaged Patina
Next, I fussy cut out the skull, and using foam squares popped it up off the background. On a piece of black cardstock, I stamped and white embossed the sentiment “Something Dreadfully Wicked” from Tiny Text Halloween
I then cut up the sentiment into some “word-fetti” strips, matted with some more black cardstock, cut them again and added them to the card.
I have a lot more Halloween-themed projects and cards to share with you! I hope this card inspires you to get a little inky!
