Day 2 - Newton's Nook Designs Halloween Release


Hello Newton’s Nook Fans!

For the second day of our September Release

We have TWO amazing products for you to get your paw’s inky with!

 

Ghostly Good Times + coordinating dies

and

Spooky Line Stencil

Using the Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set and dies




 I came up with this card




On a piece of white card stock, I used the Cloud Stencil and the following Distress Oxide colors.

Salvaged Patina

Peacock Feathers

Tumbled Glass

 

Using the edge of the cloud stencil, I started with the 

lightest color and blended into the darkest color.

 I kept adding color to the scene till I liked what I saw.

 Then, I used a lager blending tool to smooth out the scene.

Placed my ink blending aside to dry and worked on my stamps

Stamping out the images from Ghostly Good Times.

I colored my images using light color blues that match the background I just created.

I used Stickles to paint on shine and texture to the moon and ghost.




The background was now dry enough for me to die cut out using the Frames Squared Die Set.

I also created a card base with the same die set.

After figuring out the placement of the stamps, 

I attached them to the front of the card with foam tape.

To add some details to the background, I stamped on stars that are included in the stamp set.

I also stamped on sentiments that I heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The final touch is a banner created with the Banner Duo Die Set, and a few matching gems.

  

The next item in the release

Spooky Line Stencil


 Here is my take on this stencil


 I am out of practice using stencils, so I kept my image CAS (clean and simple)

I started off by inking my tombstones and tree black soot Distressed

I taped off the moon with making paper and inked up my stars using Salvaged Patina Distressed

I then removed that mask and masked up the stars around

 the moon and inked the moon with Scattered Straw Distressed.

Finally, I moved the stencil one last time and inked up the ghost using Lost Shadow Distressed

When the ink was dry, I cut my paper down to 3 x 6 slimline.

To add some bling, I placed the stencil back over the moon and added Starshine Stickled Glitter gel on top.



I also added tiny drops of Unicorn Stickles around the stars.

Once all the stickles were dry, I created a card base for my front and attached the two pieces together.

I used the NEW Spooky Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and Banner Duo Die Set to create a banner at the bottom.
