I can't help myself, even my Halloween cards must be some form of "cute" for me to be happy, lol! So this little doggie from Doggie's Halloween did the "trick"! ha!
I stamped him on 100 Lb Hammermill Cover Copy cardstock (my usual go-to) and coloured him with Copics. I hand cut a mask for him, so I could proceed to create a background! I sketched the pumpkins with a Copic liner, then coloured them in with Copics, and then sketched/and/or/coloured in the entire background with Copics as well. I established where I wanted the moon with a circle mask. I sketched where I wanted the hills and tombstones. Then I used some Distress Oxide inks to sponge on some Cracked Pistachio, Twisted Citron and Black Soot to help create the atmosphere - Oh and a wee bit of Iced Spruce for some misty grey.
I was excited to use my new Halloween Grasses and Trees stencil for the silhouetted trees! I filled them in with the Black Soot. That stencil is so fun to use and gives the background the added spook it needed! I made them appear backlit by the moon by adding some gel pen along the edges too. A little went a long way on the grave markers too. Cool, huh!?
