It's the time of the year when Art Impressions wows us once again with their newest sets for the season. This week's release does not disappoint! I've got a double feature here for you today. I couldn't just make one card with this Spooktacular Set.
Today I'm showing off a card which uses most of the many stamps included in the 6111-Spooktacular Set. I cannot believe all the goodness in this single set! Here's one card I made for the In The Navy blog challenge. Note the adorable ghost and how it stands out from the card surface. This is achieved thanks to scoring and folding lines that are part of the die set included. In the card above, I didn't use the fold lines but they are subtle enough not to be noticeable when you choose not to take advantage of that feature. You can make the ghost stand out like I did or you can put him under a flap or inside the card. He's made to collapse and comes out to full size when what he's underneath is open. How cool is that! The fun background is a pattern from the 5849 - Halloween S2 Paper Pack.
This card has a floating panel so that when you open the card, the ghost panel pops up and hovers. Can't get a more perfect treatment for a cute little ghost! I love all the dimension you can get by folding the score lines the die makes on the ghost. The panel is made even more interested by including stitch lines on the edge thanks to 5063 - Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies.
So let's get back to my first card. To make this, I started with an A2 sized white panel that I cut down once my ink blending was done. I stenciled in some colorful clouds and inked a dark bottom with Oxide inks. I stamped in the sidewalk and also cut a golden yellow moon using 5064 - Circle Double Stitched Dies. Last I die cut a few sprigs out of brown from my stash which just happen to double as bare trees in this card.
Next, I stamped and colored all the elements I needed for my card. Then I set about arranging the scene. I glued all the pieces down with Art Glitter Glue except for the light post image. I placed that on foam tape so that it appeared even closer to the front. The frog is certainly made to be a peeker so I positioned him behind the lamp post. I used my scissor to cut around his arm so I could keep it up front as if he was holding on to the post.I added two bats and a spider and it was complete! I mounted the panel on a black and cream card base to finish it off.
Thanks for joining me here today. As always, don't forget to find your favorite stamps, dies, papers, and accessories at the Ai Store! You'll always find something that calls to you.
