So - for today's post I wanted to continue on with my Halloween series. Since Simon's released a few fabulous new Halloween stamps and dies I had to make some more Halloween cards with them!
I created 3 different backgrounds using the new Spider Web Background stamp. I am loving this stamp - and if I'd had the time I could have made at least twice as many as these - so many fun ways to use it!
For card #1 I white heat embossed the Spider Web Background onto Neenah card stock. I then sponged various Distress Oxide Inks over it and splattered them with water.
For card #2 I stamped the Spider Web Background with Simon's Intense Black ink onto a dark grey card stock.
For card #3 I stamped the background with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink and brush Perfect Pearl powder over it. It gives it a subtle shimmer effect.
On all 3 cards I used the new Handlettered Halloween stamp set - and heat embossed them onto various Simon card stocks using Wendi Vecchi embossing powders. LOVE how the sentiments turned out!
I also used some of my hoarded Simon Says Stamp All Eyes on You shape sprinkles. These were released last year and are still available (links are in the supplies down below!) and I just love them! I thought they'd be a perfect touch on all these cards.
On the insides of all three cards I heat embossed another sentiment from the Handlettered Halloween stamp set that I then die cut and adhered to the insides. I stamped the spider from the same set with black ink then used a multiliner to draw a bit of webbing for him to be hanging from and that was it!
To see how these cards came together check out my video below:
