Brayered Old Olive ink at the top and bottom of a 4″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.
Ripped a hill shape in a post it note and used it to mask the top of the card stock to create the top of the cave.
Brayered Going Gray ink over the post it note and onto the card stock from the top.
Brayered Basic Gray ink at the top of the card stock.
Sponged Basic Black ink at the the post it note edge and the sides of the card stock.
Removed post it note mask and dabbed Basic Black ink on the top of the card stock with a sponge.
Stamped the skeleton on with Basic Black ink.
Colored the dog in with a Creamy Caramel marker.
Colored in the skeleton with a white gel pen.
Stamped the Flourish stamp from the Stampin’ Up set Baroque Motifs with Basic Black ink.
Sponged Basic Black ink around the edge of the card stock.
Stamped this flourish tab stamp from the Stampin’ Up set Totally Tabs using Basic Black ink on a scrap of Lovely Lilac card stock. Punched it out using the Stampin’ Up Tab punch.
Stamped the bat from the Stampin’ Up set From the Crypt twice with Basic Black ink.
Wrote “Eeek!” on the tab and outlined the design on the bats with a white gel pen.
Assembled the card front and pierced around the edge of the top and bottom using the Stampin’ Up Mat Pack and Piercing tool.
Ran a black marker point from pierced hole to pierced hole to create a faux stitched look.
Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
May your day be over flowing with fun images.
Until my next post. . . . . .
Huge Hugs!
Michelle
