Earlier this year I finally managed to pick up the rest of my crafting stash that I had stored at my parents house, which included my Halloween stamp sets. One of the stamp sets has these very tiny solid stamps and I thought I will use them to create a very simple background. I used the Bristol card stock from Canson as it's very smooth and is great for stamping. It also can handle some water, while this is mainly about stamping, I will be using a little bit of water later. I taped the the card stock panel onto a board, to prevent it from moving, so I can stamp easily. I had all my tiny stamps attached to individual acrylic blocks and I stamped them using the Versafine ink in Onyx black. I was switching between the stamps to create a simple background pattern. Once I had the whole background covered, I waited a bit for the ink to dry and then I added some splatter. I used Distress inks that I squished onto an acrylic block and mixed them with water. You can also use watercolours if you want, but I like the colours of the Distress inks as they are perfect for Halloween: Wilted Violet, Carved Pumpkin and Twisted Citron. While the background was drying I stamped the greeting. I picked a stamp that says Happy Halloween from my stash and I heat embossed it in white onto a black card stock. I cut it into a banner and then I cut around the bottom to make it thinner. Often when the sentiment is written in lower case and it contains letters like p, y, g and so on, it makes the banner too wide. So sometimes I just take my scissors and cut around the letters and to make the banner with the greeting thinner. Next I die-cut the stamped panel using a stitched rectangular die and I stamped an image with a spider web in the corners of the panel as well as along the edges. As I wanted to use a white card base, to create a visual separation, I painted the edges of the panel with the purple Distress ink (Wilted Violet), which also adds more colour to the background. And lastly I attached the panel on top of the card base using a simple double-sided tape and the banner I adhered using a foam tape.
