So here is my make using the great pop n cuts card die...I know cardmaking! whatever next ?!
So here is the front of my card using lots of yummy Distress paints...and the gorgeous and I mean gorgeous new pumice stone one! I love it!
and the inside....
I started by creating the backgrounds using pumice stone, brushed pewter, black soot and picket fence distress paint...smooshed into my craft sheet, dried and then smooshed in again. then when dry I added layers using the fab layering stencils and distress ink.
I also stamped the skulls in picket fence and then dried and I love how they eerily seem to disappear and re-appear...they are up the right way inside.. I also added script from apothecary set stamped in the fab new archival...watering can.
For the front of the card I used one of the new blueprint stamps and painted using Distress markers and a waterbrush.
for the inside I added some die cut cobwebs from mop up card...using the remaining distress paints form my craft sheet...waste not ...
I also added some skulls on the inside and on the pop up piece in the centre ..
and a sentiment from simple sayings ..
Well hope you like my spooky make and hope you find time to join in the fun here ...
have a fun and inky day!
