Sepia Cauldron

Paid Promotion for Kat Scrappiness

Shaker

I started by creating the shaker. For this I used the two cauldron dies in the Kat Scrappiness Witches Brew Die Set. The background I cut from the lightest color in Kat Scrappiness Coffee Faux Glitter 6x6 Paper Pad and the foreground from the darkest color. I also used the background die to cut my acetate and the foreground die to cut two layers of Kraft cardstock. I sandwiched the acetate between the two Kraft layers and then added the dark cauldron frame die cut to the front. Then I placed a double layer of foam tape on the back.

I filled the shaker with Kat Scrappiness Pearl Glass Shaker Dots and some sequins from my stash. Then I adhered the background to the back of the shaker element.

Finally I added the bubbles. The background layer is cut from the middle tone in Kat Scrappiness Coffee Faux Glitter 6x6 Paper Pad and the foreground uses the lightest color. The foreground is popped up on one layer of foam tape.

Frame

For the frame I cut two pieces of Kraft cardstock and one piece of the middle tone from Kat Scrappiness Coffee Faux Glitter 6x6 Paper Pad with Kat Scrappiness Woodgrain Frame Die and stacked them.

Sentiment

My sentiment is Kat Scrappiness Happy Halloween Word Dies with Shadow. Just as with the cauldron, I cut the shadow layer from the lightest color in Kat Scrappiness Coffee Faux Glitter 6x6 Paper Pad and the word layer from the darkest. I stacked one layer of Kraft behind the shadow layer and two layers of Kraft behind the word layer. Then I glued them all together.

Decorations

The moon and bats are part of the aptly-named Kat Scrappiness Crafter’s Essentials Halloween Dies. I cut the moon from Kraft and the lightest color in Kat Scrappiness Coffee Faux Glitter 6x6 Paper Pad. The bats are the darkest color in that pad, plus Kraft of course.

Assembly

I started assembling my card by gluing the woodgrain frame to the Kraft card base. Then I glued down the shaker element in the center of the frame. Next I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the frame with two layers of foam tape. I added the moon in the top left corner on one layer of foam tape. Then I spread out the bats and finally I added a few sequins.
