Everyone enjoyed Sofia's Halloween card so much that we decided we needed to highlight her design and technique for future generations in our scrapbooks. I adapted the card into a 12" x 12", two-page scrapbook layout for our September Page of the Month project.
The design features the following products:
- Halloween Frights stamp set
- Frightful Fence Jumbo wheel
- Well-Worn Alphabet (retired)
- Barely Banana, Apricot Appeal, Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, Brocade Blue, Brilliant Blue, and Basic Black Classic Ink
- Whisper White Craft Ink
- Sponges
- Black Gingham ribbon
- Barely Banana, Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, and Basic Black cardstock
- Scallop Edge punch
- 1/16" Handheld punch
- White Gel pen
- Basic Black ink cartridge
Directions:
Create a large circle template using a circle cutter or Big Shot die in the center of a large Post-it Note sheet. Save the circle you removed. Place the template on a piece of White cardstock where you would like your moon to be. Starting with the lightest shade of yellow, in this case Barely Banana, sponge the circle shape on to the cardstock. Sponge Apricot Appeal ink around the bottom 2/3 of the circle. Finish with the Pumpkin Pie ink, sponging the bottom 1/3 or so of the circle. Remove the template and cover the moon with the circle you cut out of the Post-it Note. Repeat the sponging technique around the moon starting with Bashful Blue ink, adding Brocade Blue, and finally Brilliant Blue until the entire White cardstock piece in covered. Next, roll along the bottom of the cardstock with the fence design in Basic Black ink. Once dry, highlight the fence posts with a White Gel Pen. Stamp the bats and cat in Basic Black. Finish the layout as shown. Notice that some of the bats are stamped-off to give the illusion that they are coming from a further distance.
