Hi!!! Here we are again (Are you sick of me?) with another card (the 4th) using the new Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous Halloween Stamps. These cards (I made two different varieties) are made with three of the new Layering Stencils as well as the Snarky Cat Halloween and Tiny Text Halloween Sets. I so enjoyed making these, as those kiddos from Paper Dolls always have me talking to and mothering them! The hardest part of making these cards is picking which children to use. Enjoy.

Cut
heavystock to 3 3/8 x 4 (or 3 3/8 x 8 for two cards), kraft cardstock 1 3/4 by
4 (or by 8 for two), black cardstock 4
1/8 x 5 3/8 for mounting, and a kraft
card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Set card base and black cardstock aside. Using the heavystock,
ink over it with Antique Linen and Pumice Stone Distress Ink with an Ink
Blending Tool. Mist with water, and dry.
|
 |
Lay
the Medium Multi Dots Shifter Stencil over the heavystock, and ink in the first
set of circles with Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink. Move or shift the stencil over, and ink over the shifter circles with
Twisted Citron. Trim the circle paper in half if you want two cards. Ink the edges with
Pumice Stone.
|
 |
Lay
the Ironwork Stencil over the small piece of kraft cardstock. Ink it in with
Antique Linen Distress Ink, really working the ink in. Ink the edges with
Pumice Stone. Do another if making two cards. Clean the stencils.
|
 |
Adhere dots paper and ironwork paper to black cardstock with two sided tape.
Add a strip of the striped tissue tape between the papers and around the back
of the card. Distress the edges of the black cardstock taking care not to go
over the tissue tape.
|
 |
Add
a line of Black Diamond Stickles from Ranger to the edges of the tissue tape. Follow the
ironwork image with Platinum Stickles. Trace around the orange circles with
Orange Slice Stickles and the green with Lime Green Stickles. Let this dry in a
safe place.
|
 |
Stamp two pumpkins for each card onto heavystock and cut out, as well as the
sentiment for use later. Ink edges and mount sentiment on black cardstock.
|
 |
Ink over the pumpkins in Carved Pumpkin and
Twisted Citron Distress Ink. Use Rusty Hinge Distress Crayon and a detail water
brush to add a darker area to the shadows of the pumpkin, and Peeled Paint to
the stem. Color the edges as well. Select children to use for the card, and ink the edges in Pumice Stone. Use
Distress Crayons and water brush to color in the hair and clothes.
I used Victorian Velvet for cheeks, Antique Linen and Old Paper to deepen shadows and details on the clothing. |
 |
| I wanted areas of the clothing to copy the tissue tape, so I painted in the areas I wanted altered with Antique Linen Distress Paint, let it dry, and then used permanent ink pens (black and orange) to color in those places like the tape. |
 |
Cut
the tops off of one of the pumpkins (or two if making two), and ink the cut edges. Adhere children
behind pumpkin so it looks like the child is inside. Cut off legs or body parts
you don't want shown. Adhere pumpkin stem to the head as a hat. Adhere the
other children to the pumpkins like they are sitting on it. Set aside.
|
 |
Color in a token with Twisted Citron Crayon and wipe off excess, and then add a
jumpring. Cut off about 18 inches of Crinkle Ribbon per card and mist the
ribbon with Carved Pumpkin Spray Stain. Crinkle it up and dry with a heat tool.
Cut off enough ribbon to go across card with overage to wrap around the back.
Secure the ribbon with two sided tape on the back. Cut off three inches of
ribbon and slide under the ribbon on the front right side. Gather the rest of
the ribbon and wrap around two fingers until all wrapped. Remove from your
fingers and gather in the center. Lay this in the center of the three inch
piece, and slide the jumpring and token onto the three inch piece. Tie that
piece in a tight knot with the gathered up piece directly in the center.
Separate the loops from each other and fluff up the bow with the charm hanging
correctly in the center. Adhere children and pumpkins to the card with foam tape or two sided tape,
overlapping them. Add sentiment. Add a few dots of Orange Slice Stickles to the
clothes if desired.
