"Happy Birthday"
Stamp Artist - Barb Passmore |
|
| Using Staz-On Black
I stamped the pumpkin and the cat. Masking both the cat and pumpkin
I whisker brushed the sky with Stampit rainbow daydream ink.
I then stamped the clouds with the same ink pad. The cat, still
masked, had the skeleton stamped behind him in PSX slate ink.
The bat was also then stamped using the same slate ink. I masked
a "V" shape extending from the flashlight. Coloring
in the part of the frame in the light with magic markers, then
whisker brushing Stampin'Up! yellow over everything in that area.
The trees were then added with Staz-on black and colored in with
an older drier green marker to keep the color light and muted.
Both the pumpkin and cat were masked and a stamp of a planet
was stamped upside down in slate to give a gravely look. |

"Midnight Masking "
Stamp Artist - Beverly Shupp |
Then PSE brown was whisker brushed
to add depth.This was done on glossy card stock. I then stamped
the October in pigment black and embossed with a black sparkle.
This was then layered on black cardstock.. then layered on candy
corn background paper and finally mounted on a bright orange
card stock.
