Witch Way is the Candy? - Cards 3 & 4

Oh, hi!  I'm back with the next two cards featuring the Witch Way is the Candy stamp set.  Card # 3 went pretty smoothly, however, Card #4 was a challenge . . . I tried to use a ruler.  Really, I should know better than that. . .they don't like me . . . which you can see in the video at the end of this post.

Anywho, on to the cards.

Here's Card #3:

This one is pretty straight forward.  I traced the windows from the Stitched Triple Peek-a-Boo Windows die onto a piece of 80# Neenah card stock measuring 4" x 5.25".  Then I stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Witch Way is the Candy stamp set.

I colored them in with these Copics:

Bat - BV20, BV23, BV25, BV29, R00, R20
Cat - W1, W2, W3, W4; Bowtie - YG13, YG17
Frog - G99, G94, G82, G40

I stamped the sentiment in Memento Luxe Wedding Dress ink and heat embossed with white embossing power.

I used the same window die to cut the patterned paper, and adhered that over the stamped images using an incredible amount of foam tape.  I adhered the sentiment using Tombow Multi Mono Liquid Glue.

Then I adhered that to a piece of black card stock measuring 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" and finally adhered that to a white A2 card.  Ta-da!  All done!

So, Card #4.  You guys, this was seriously a hot mess.  Not at first, but boy oh boy, I sure did have a few issues with this one towards the end.  This card right here is further proof that pretty much anything can be fixed.



I started out by tracing a rectangle using one of the A2 Scallop Frame dies from Honey Bee Stamps so I would know where to stamp the kitty and pumpkins.  I used a stamp positioner to get them in just the right spot. . .and I did a bit of masking too so the kitty would be in front of the pumpkins.

Once all the stamping was done, I covered them up with masks and used Distress Oxide inks to create the night sky.  I used Black Soot, Faded Jeans, Seedless Preserves and Peeled Paint.

For the clouds, I just scribbled on some clean water.  I do love how the Distress Oxide inks react with water.

After all the ink blending was done, I colored in the images using these Copics:

Kitty - W2, W3, W4, R00, R20; Bowtie - YG13, YG17
Pumpkins - YR27, YR15, YR12; Stems - G99, G94
Moon - Y11, Y13, Y15

And this about where things start to go awry . . . so, here's the video so you can see my struggles and how I fixed them.
