Carved Halloween

Back with another card made with one of the new Stampers Anonymous stamp sets.

I used Mini Distress Ink kit #8 to create a monoprint on Ranger Watercolor paper using the new Halloween Layering Stencil.  Love how the colors of this set just looks like Halloween!

I stamped the owl from the Carved Halloween set with Black Archival ink onto the monoprint.

Then stitched the monoprint to purple Core'dinations Kraft-core cardstock.

I added this little spider hanging from the top.  Love this little guy!

I also added Glossy Accents to the eyes of the owl and the back of the spider to give them a bit more detail.

Mushroom Alcohol ink was added to a Plaquette to give it more of a Halloween feel; then tied around the card with green Jute String.

I wanted to break up the monoprint just a bit so I ripped a piece of paper from an old book.  After a bit of Distress ink - Vintage Photo, I used the Distress Marker Spritzer to add speckles to the paper.  A super easy aging technique.  I also added a couple Tiny Attacher staples to keep the Jute String in place.

A little more Distress Marker Spritzer to give a background a spooky effect and were done.  Gosh I love using that Spritzer tool!

What a fun card.  Not too scary with all that color, in fact I think it's just right!

now carry on,
