Another Witchy Kitty

Oh, hi!  Happy October!  I'm back with another Halloween card with a background technique that I love.  Although, you will see in the video that things didn't go quite as planned because I was distracted by a movie I was watching.

Here's the process video:



Anywhooooo . . . for this card, I used Witchy Kitty 3 by Impression Obsession.  I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Neenah Solar White Card Stock.  Then I created the background using Copic Markers.

Oh, no . . .I certainly didn't come up with this technique on my own.  I saw it on Instagram. . . or YouTube. . . I can't remember which.  But when I saw it, I really wanted to try it out.  And even though I was distracted by a movie, I'm still really happy with out it turned out.

So, a huge thank you goes out to Antonia at Taffleberry Lane for the inspiration!

Okay, back to the card.  After I was done with the background, I colored up the image with my Copics. (colors listed below).  I created a mask to cover the image so I could add some "stars" to my night sky.

I kinda went back and forth about how to create those stars . . . I almost used a White Gel Pen, but that would take forever, so I opted to use my Mr. Huey's Opaque White Color Mist.  And that too almost turned into a disaster.

I shook up the bottle really well and when I took off the cap, ink splattered all over my craft mat.  I'm so glad my card wasn't anywhere near it.

Anyway, after I cleaned up the mess, I applied the mask over the stamped image and sprayed the white ink.  While that was drying, I ran a piece of black card stock through my Gemini Junior with an A2 Scallop die from Honey Bee Stamps (you guys!  These seriously are my favorite dies right now).

Once the white ink was dry (and I did help it along with my heat tool, because I'm not too patient when it comes to waiting for things to dry), I ran it through my die cut machine with the same die.  Using scissors, I cut off the scalloped edges from my stamped panel.  The stitching detail from the die makes it really easy and the rectangle fits perfectly inside the black scalloped panel.

Finally, I put it all together, and Viola!  All done!
