Stop In For A Spell!

I am soooooo loving these new stamps from Northwoods! I don't typically make a lot of Halloween cards, but the images are just too cute not to color them!

The main image on this card is Northwoods Spooky Rooftops . I stamped it on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder.

To color the sky, I used Tombow (water based) markers. First, I used a clean damp paint brush to moisten my watercolor paper. I then scribbled color from my Tombow marker on a plastic palette, and picked up the color with my damp paintbrush applying to the dampened cardstock to make a wash. If you need more blending, remoisten your paint brush and go over the color until it's blended to suit you. It's as simple as that!

I saw a fabulous tutorial for watercolor backgrounds on Leslie Miller's blog today. Be sure to see it HERE . I am definitely going to try her technique myself!

The sentiment is Stop In For A Spell . I think it's just perfect for the main image. The bats are a from my stash of stamps. I believe it's from Printworks.

To complete the card, I added a little Stickles Glitter Glue to the moon and the bats. I thought it needed just a touch of sparkle. :-)

That's it for me tonight! I have a HUGE project that I just started working on, so my posts may be few and far between for the next few days! But I will be back as soon as I can.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
