Stamper's Anonymous Halloween 2020 - If I Play Dead

Happy September everyone! August flew by so fast for me. Today, I have my third card using Tim Holtz's new Halloween stamps from Stamper's Anonymous, and this one was so fun to make and easy too. It was made with the Examination, Anatomy Chart, and Snarky Cats Halloween Sets. Enjoy!

Ink tag with Antique Linen and Pumice Stone Distress Inks with an Ink Blending Tool (I made two cards, so I doubled everything). Mist with water to water mark. Apply same inks plus Gathered Twigs to the silicone mat, and pick up with a water brush and tap it over the tag to create droplets of color. Dry. Trim 1/2 inch off bottom of tag and set this aside for the sentiment. 

Stamp images from Examination and Anatomy Chart randomly on the tag using different colors of Archival Ink...Peeled Paint, Black Soot, Dusty Concord, and Spiced Marmalade. Ink edges of tag with Pumice Stone Distress Ink. Mount tag on purple cardstock, punch hole, and add string. Set aside.

Cut paper from Abandoned to 3 3/4 x 6 3/4. Ink over it in Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint, and Dusty Concord Archival. Notice the circular floral design on the Adandoned Paper??? One of new backgrounds on the Renaissance Set looks a lot like it, fyi.

Lay Script Stencil over Abandoned paper and use Black Soot to stencil in the design with an Ink Blending Tool. Mount on black cardstock and distress edges. Mount on 4 x 7 kraft card. Then mount tag on card slightly turned to left.

Stamp sentiment on tag remnant, ink edges in Pumice Stone Distress, and mount on green cardstock. Adhere to bottom left corner of card.

Stamp skull and hand on heavy stock, cut out and ink edges with Antique Linen Distress. Use an Antique Linen Distress Marker to trace around lines and knuckles. Apply foam tape and Collage Medium to both and adhere to tag to make it look like the skeleton is grabbing the card with fingers propped up and coming from behind.

Stamper's Anonymous Halloween 2020 - An Uninvited Guest at Sketch Manor

I'm back again, to bring you my second make for Tim Holtz's Stamper's Anonymous Halloween 2020 big stamp release. This one is all about Sketch Manor, and was one of my favorite cards in the series. And, I just want to say a mahoosive thank you for all the comments, pins, follows, and likes...I'm so thankful!

Cut black cardstock to 4 3/8 x 6 1/8. Stamp clouds along top using Hickory Smoke Oxide and heat emboss with clear powder. Stamp lightning bolts under each cloud using Picket Fence Distress and heat emboss with clear powder. I totally love the lightning bolts, and think they would make fabulous branches too.

 Use white pen to color in lightning bolts. Apply Hickory Smoke Oxide to silicone mat and water color in clouds using Detail Water Brush. Distress edges and mount on kraft card base 4 1/2 x 6 1/4. Set aside.

Die cut Big Ticket from Sizzix (an oldie but a goodie!) on heavystock. Stamp moon in Hickory Smoke Oxide and heat emboss with clear powder.

Ink over the whole ticket with Antique Linen Distress Ink. Ink over ticket in Hickory Smoke Distress Ink, minus the moon and area directly around moon. Spritz and flick water over ticket to create watermarks.  Let dry.

Stamp haunted house and tree on ticket using stamp platform and Jet Black Archival, and heat emboss with clear powder. Mask tree and house side, and stamp fence along bottom left of ticket using Jet Black. Stamp bats in sky, and stamp a bit of the tree branches above house on right side.
Stamp ticket number in top right portion of the tag using Letter/Number Rotary Stamper.

Apply Hickory Smoke, Picket Fence, Antique Linen, and Gathered Twigs Distress Inks to silicone mat and water color in the stamped images with Detail Water Brush. Trace over recessed ticket trim areas that are not covered up by stamps with a white pen. Ink edges of ticket with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink. Mount on kraft cardstock, and trim around to 1/8 inch around ticket. Distress edges with Distress Tool, and ink those with Gathered Twigs. Apply mat board or foam tape to back of ticket, and mount on lightning base.
Cut around witch if need be, ink around it, and collage onto ticket. Heat emboss sentiment onto black cardstock using Picket Fence and clear powder. Cut around, and mount onto kraft. Distress edges and ink, and add to card top.
