We have a really fun challenge over at Retro Rubber BlogChallenge for the next two weeks.
Show us your Spooky images and share in the creativity!
I am not a super big fan of decorating for Halloween, and my
stamp images reflect that as well. However I do have these two really fun dancing skeletons that
have been around for at least 10 years.
With a little research I determined the stamps were made by Stamp
Franscisco.
Since skeletons are best shown in white, I stamped the
images on black card stock with Tsukineko Versa Magic Cloud White and heat
embossing them with detail white embossing powder. I used card stock left over from a Halloween layout that was
perfect for this card, My Minds Eye Night Light in Dotted Corn to frame the
image. Bazzill card stock in burnt
orange backs the Dotted corn perfectly.
Both were trimmed to size and the smaller oval from Spellbinders Petite
Ovals Small was die cut through both layers. The larger oval was die cut from the Dotted Corn in a second
step. The sentiment is from Rubber
Stampede set that was originally mounted on foam and purchased from Michaels at
least 18 years ago. It is stamped
in Tsukineko Versa Magic Cloud White and heat embossing them with detail white
embossing powder. The deckle torn
edges were inked two at a time and also heat embossed. With the sentiment I was purposely not
as careful with the embossing powder to give it a more rustic look to match the
design of the card. The black card
stock is adhered to an A2 size Kraft card stock base. The frames are adhered with dimensional foam adhesive.
Please come around and check out the rest of the Mod Squad’s
creations at Retro Rubber Blog Challenge and join us with your own Spook Us
project.

Hi this is a fantastic card. Thank you for joining us at Fantasy Stampers Challenge 47 “Fright Night (Halloween)” Hugs Jackie (DT)
ReplyDeleteI like what you did with the sentiment - using a less that pristeen application of ink and EP really gives a marvelous distressed look to the words. Nicely done!! Don't ya love it when you can dig out something that old and still use it! Thank you for sharing your project and creativity with us at Aud Sentiments for our Halloween Sentiment challenge!

Hey Neva, I love your card, dancing skeletons?! Very cool. I too have a limited selection of Halloween stamps, partly because I am English and also because it happens to be my wedding Anniversary and my Hubby likes me to steer clear of 'halloween' themed cards..Cx
ReplyDeleteNeva, what a fantastic card! I adore the dancing skeletons. The vintage look is perfect with the images... love it... :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable! If you must make a spooky card, it might as well make you laugh at the same time! That's what I love about your card - dancing skeletons are a funny thought, aren't they? Great card!
