Hello dear stamping friends! It's Sunday and it's time for a color challenge for The Paper Players #612. With the shades of orange, green and purple I pulled out my one and only ever stamp set for Halloween. Called "Good Fright" it's from Hello Bluebird and makes the cutest scenes.
I began by inking a background using Distress Oxide inks in shades of purple. Then I added some ink splatters and a few larger water droplets for texture. This kind of inking is absolutely one of my favorite techniques!
I stamped the trick or treaters, colored them with Copics and fussy cut them. Popping them up on foam tape, I added Crystal Gloss to the pumpkin containers.
My husband suggested that they looked as if they were searching for something, inspiring me to add the die cut tree and sentiments.
I hope you'll take the time to visit the Paper Players blog and admire the fabulous samples. They never fail to amaze! Thanks so much for your visit today. I hope you have a great week.
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!
Cindy, what a cute card! Love the sponged background. Those pumpkin buckets remind me of trick or treating as a kid! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteCindy, I love that sponged background and this super cute card. Mind, you, the sentiment is my favorite - I just love me a punny sentiment.
