We're celebrating Edgar Allen Poe at Gingersnap Creations for October … and this week's Spicy Supply Challenge is all about Distress Inks.
I decided to go spooky with my dapper Skeleton from Artistic Outpost's Haunted Halloween together with the new Seasonal Distress Inks … Seedless Preserves & Ripe Persimmon. I started by cutting my cardstock to size and sponging all over with Persimmon, leaving the center the lightest. Then I added purple Preserves all around the edges. I sprayed with Jingle Bells Glimmer Mist for a bit of all over sparkle after dotting a bit with water. I love how it looks like it's glowing behind the skeleton.
The designer paper & sentiment are from Little Yellow Bicycle's Frightful Collection. The layout is the October Sketch for You to Try … the background is purple Core'dinations paper embossed with a spider web, sanded, and then sponged with Preserves distress ink … spooky-fun.
Such a vibrant piece of artwork for the alcohol inks challenge and I love that spiders web background.
Wonderful … he is a dapper skeleton!
Love the vibrant colours! Awesome technique and design!
it TOTALLY looks like it’s glowing behind the skellington!!! ♥AWESOME♥!!!
Thanks, Steph, for the link. When I saw your card, I just had to check out that blog and low and behold, there is a post on glue books… which I want to make. Thanks so much!
The background on your card is amazing… I’m eagerly awaiting my new 3-pack of Tim’s DI in the mail.
Fantastically spooky!
