No Tricks

Coloring

I started by stamping the two witches from Trinity Stamps Hocus Pocus Gnomes Stamp Set and coloring them with my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers. See the tables below for the markers I used. In addition to alcohol markers I used white and silver gel pens.

Then I cut out my witches with the coordinating dies.

Background

For my background I used the darkest and second lightest color cardstock from Recollections Very Violet 110 lbs Cardstock. First I ink blended an A2 panel of the second lightest cardstock with a gradient of Distress Oxide Villainous Potion.

I die cut Kat Scrappiness Haunted House on the Hill Background Die from the darkest cardstock and ink blended a gradient of Distress Oxide Villainous Potion starting at the top of the die cut.

I glued the panels together so that the gradients go in opposite directions. Then I glued them to the front of an A2 notecard.

Sentiment

I used the No Tricks, Just Treats sentiment from Trinity Stamps Hocus Pocus Gnomes Stamp Set and stamped it with white pigment ink on the same color cardstock as the haunted house. Then I heat embossed it twice with Ranger Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder in Silver. I cut it out three times with the coordinating die set and stacked the layers.

Assembly

I put foam tape on the back of the two witches and placed them in opposite corners on the card panel. Then I glued the stacked sentiment between them. Finally I added a few of the stamped bubbles and flatback pearls in Antique Silver.
