Halloween Cemetery card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Movies".

This is my last Halloween card of the season, Now I have something to look forward to next year! I'm not really inspired by one particular film, but more by a creepy cemetery scene in a scary film. I don't have any tombstone dies or stamps, so decided to make these myself, very basic.

 

For the background I wanted to make hills with Stormy Sky Distress Ink, but changed my mind and started building the background with Stormy Sky Distress Ink and Faded Jeans and Black Soot Distres Oxide. I had a cool moon sticker that is very realistic and this immediately gives the entire card such a cool vibe. The branch of the Small Tattered Florals is perfect for creepy Halloween cards, so I had to use it again. And I applied some Grit-Paste on the gravestones for texture and I painted them black with Black Soot Distress Paint.

Lost in the Woods tag with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Not  a card".

Just a little while longer and it's Halloween, but not before another Halloween project. I made a tag and I've wanted to make this since I saw the Creepy Eyes last year. I started with regular tissue paper and Soft Matte Gel to apply a first layer of texture. Then it was time for the Creepy Eyes. I first took out the irises and glued the eye with foam squares. With tissue paper and Soft Matte Gel I started to work the eyes into the background.

 

After the Soft Matte Gel was dry, I started with Liquid Acrylics to give it some color. I choose the colors Avocado and Burnt Sienna. Also used Infusions Emerald Isle and Nuvo Shimmer Powder Green Parade and Storm Cloud. When I wanted to put the irises back, I noticed because of all the drying with the heat tool, that the eyes were distorted by the heat and the irises no longer fit. Wise lesson for next time, they are NOT heat resistant ;). I adhered them in place with a foam square.

 

To make it look even more like a forest I used the branches from the Small Tattered Floral die set and gave it a little color with Metallique Wax Bronze Age.
