Hey friends! So I was planning on doing this technique at least once this season and after watching some of Tim Holtz latest live video earlier I HAD to get inky and create. But first:
🚨FYI - I am aware of the e-mail issue. For those that have signed up in the sidebar on the right here on my blog to receive e-mails whenever I post something new - SOMETHING isn't working. We're looking into it. I have no idea why it stopped working and hope to either get it fixed or figure out an alternative asap! That said I HIGHLY recommend y'all follow me on Instagram, and especially follow/join me on my Facebook page as I update those immediately every time I post something new (which is often!). And just like with everything (including my videos on YouTube) - the more you engage - commenting, liking, sharing etc - the more you'll see my content in your feeds. I am at the mercy of the algorithms and robot overlords with EVERYTHING to do with this job but I hope these tips help and I will continue to trouble shoot behind the scenes!🚨

So waaaayyyy back in 2019 Stacy Hutchison made some amazing Halloween cards with this fabulous spooky sky technique. You can check out her original post HERE <-------click! I was so inspired by it that I ended up doing a few videos over the last few years using it as it's so fun and turns out different every single time.
For this one I went more harvest/rusty/spooky with the colors and made these mini slimline Halloween cards:
These are 3.25 x 6.25" Mini Slimline Cards.
I used the Moon Mask Stencil set along with Black Soot and Ripe Persimmon Distress Spray Stains, Old Paper Distress Oxide Spray and several of the new Halloween Mica Spray Stains. Specifically Decayed, Burning Ember, Wicked Elixir and Harvest Moon.
I then mixed texture paste with Black Soot Distress Paint and applied it over one of Simon's Layered Bats Stencils (one of my fave Halloween stencil sets), and while the paste was still wet I poured Nightfall Distress Glitter over them.
The fright night sentiment is from my oldie-but-goodie favorite Handlettered Halloween stamp set. I heat embossed it with some copper embossing powder on black card stock and used the coordinating wafer die to cut it out.
The little companion sentiments are from another oldie-but-goodie set: the Sentiment Strips Halloween pack, that I blended Rusty Hinge Distress Ink over.
On the insides of the cards I blended the Rusty Hinge Distress ink over the Layered Bats stencil again, and added another sentiment from the Handlettered Halloween stamp set and that was it!
To see how these cards came together check out my video below:
