I started off my project by stamping the witch image from A Wee Bit Wicked and coloring them up using Copic Markers. Using the coordinating dies, I cut the image out. I then did an extra step, and I took a gray marker and colored in the white space of the paper between the stamped image and the paper edge. I wanted to take away the stark white paper color, and have my image set more subtly onto the background.
Using embossing ink, I stamped out my sentiment "Happy October 31st" on black paper and heat embossed it with white powder. I used the A Wee Bit Wicked coordinating dies to cut the sentiment out. I set it aside with my main image.
Next, I took some brown paper from my stash and die cut a few of the Layering Flora: Tall Wild Flowers. I placed the flowers onto my 8" x 8" Paper Inking Palette and blended them with Vintage Photo & Scorched Timber Distress Oxide Inks. I removed the images from my Paper Inking Palette and set them aside.
For my background, I took a piece of blending cardstock and stamped out an arrangement of critters from the Spooky Flight stamp set in Versafine Clair Nocturne Pigment Ink. I then embossed the critters using clear powder. Once heat set, I went ahead and began ink blending my background. I used Milled Lavender Distress Oxide in the center of each critter. I then blended around that with Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink, and then blended any remaining space with Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink. I then went in reverse order to have a smoother blend between colors. I splattered the background with Opaque Black and Opaque White Watercolor Paper Splatter.
Once dry, I used the 4.125" x 5.375" rectangle die from the A2 Rectangles for Card Layering die set and cut the ink-blended panel to size. I adhered each of my Wildflower Dies sprouting from the bottom of the panel. Using scissors, I went ahead and trimmed the excess of the Wild Flowers from the bottom of the panel. I adhered it to an A2-size piece of black cardstock for a thin frame, and then adhered the unit to an A2-size card base.
Using foam tape, I adhered my witch image and sentiment to my card. I finished off the card by adhering a few sequins from the City of Lights Sequin Mix, and my spooky creation was done!
