Freshly BOO'D

 

Hello Newton Fans

 Today I am here with you to share this fun Halloween card! 

This card started off with the Spooky Halloween Foil

it has been a while since I used toner foil.

 My foiling was a little rough around the edges.

I do not think I had my machine hot enough.

That is OK we can make it look antique.

I used an old school technique that I learned a long time ago when I was first card making.

To do this we first start by heating up the foil paper with our heat gun.

I do this step a couple of times, just heat it up and let it cool.

That is going to give tiny cracks in the foil.

Once the paper is completely cool, you are going to move on to the new next step.

Using some Lost Shadow Distress Ink, I rubbed ink onto my foil to expose those tiny cracks.

I used an incredibly soft cloth to buff off some of the ink and then added another layer of ink.

I kept alternating, adding ink and buffing until I liked what I saw.

I left this piece of altered paper aside to dry.

Once it was dry I used the Oval Frames Die Set to create my shaped card.

 Next, I turned my attention to the stamps I wanted to use.

From Spooky Coffees I used the mummy coffee cup, steam, and sentiment.

From Halloween Postage Sampler I use the ghost.

I stamped, colored, and die-cut all the pieces out.

To create a base for my stamps I used vellum the smaller scalloped oval 

from the Oval Frames Die Set.

The banner comes from Frames and Flags Die Set.

I layered everything on the front of the card using foam tape.

A few extra gems were added to make the card sparkle.

Some Disco Stickles on my ghost to make them shine.

Hope you try this fun technique.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Stay crafty everyone!
