Faintly Visible

Hello crafters! Today I have a Halloween tag to share, with translucent ghosts and other details.

I made a night-time scene with a spooky tree, vellum ghosts and an inked, stamped and stenciled background. You can use the background techniques for other themes too. I used Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Halloween 2021 for the die cutting.

Start by tearing a piece of printer paper to create a mask for the ink. Mask the hill and ink the sky with purple shades. Use the other piece of the mask to mask the sky and then ink the hill.

Stamp the branch from Tim Holtz Mr Bones to create a tree. I didn't ink the two branches at the bottom of the tree, to make it look more like a tree with a trunk than a branch. 

Ink through Tim Holtz Harlequin stencil with Uncharted Mariner and Scorched Timber. 

Stamp the hill with Simon Says Stamp Crackle Background.

I stamped the sentiments from Tim Holtz Tiny Text Halloween on the margins of an old book and cut into strips. The background was also stamped with a splatter/texture stamp.

The ghosts were die cut from Simon Says Stamp vellum with Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Halloween 2021.

I also die cut additional branches with Vault Halloween 2021.

The banner comes from the same Vault Halloween 2021 die set and was die cut from leftover paper. Stamp the sentiment, ink the edges and fold. Attach with staples. I added some dyed cheese cloth underneath.

The bats and the moon were also die cut with Vault Halloween 2021. The moon was die cut from gold metallic kraft stock. I also glued Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Black Gems to the tag.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

Thank you so much for visiting today! 

Happy crafting!
