Skull Halloween Card

Hi friends! I hope you are well. It is getting darker here and today it is raining. I have a fun Halloween card to share.

Halloween crafting is so fun and you can make things that would otherwise seem a little crazy. Here I had the idea of creating a wallpaper background, with a frame and a poor fellow in the frame. I happened to find a suitable piece of old book paper to add to the projects. 

Start by white embossing Tim Holtz Skulls and Cobwebs on heavystock paper.

Smear Distress Ink Wilted Violet over the background and blend with an ink-blending tool. The embossing resists the ink.

Mist the background with Uncharted Mariner Distress Spritz and then apply a little Perfect Pearls.

Stamp the skull from Tim Holtz Mr. Bones on left-over watercolored or inky paper. 

Cut out and use a white gel pen to make the teeth, hat highlights and white of the eye white. Ink the edges.

Use Tim Holtz Shaping Kit to add shape and dimension to the skull. The eye protrudes, while the eye hole recedes.

Stamp Simon Says Stamp Wood Planks on a piece of Tim Holtz Backdrops paper and cut into a frame.

I added a few Clippings Stickers and Simon Says Stamp Lilac Dazzling Gems. Here you can also see the shine from the mist and Perfect Pearls.

The skull was adhered with two layers of Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Foam Tape and the eye is coated with Glossy Accents. 

I just happened to find this strip of paper from an old book and thought it was perfect for the card.

 

Thank you so much for visiting today! 

Happy crafting!
