It's Day 3 of Newton's Nook Designs September Release and the Halloween fun continues with two new stamp sets - Beautiful Bones and Spooky Skeletons. You can win one of these new stamp sets, so make sure to check out all of the details below.
These spooky, but still cute skeleton critters called out to be made into a background pattern. I pulled out my MISTI and some black in and went to town creating my pattern.
Once I was finished, I inked up the edges with some Wilted Violet Distress Oxide. I then stamped two bats and die cut them using the coordinating Beautiful Bones Dies. For a touch of extra fun, I added a few bat sequins and adhered them with double sided foam adhesive.
The second set is called Beautiful Bones and it features a set of four skulls and a heart that have a gorgeous swirly design reminiscent of sugar skulls. This set is the perfect addition to the Beautiful Swirls line of stamps! I also love that this set can be used for either Halloween or Dia de los Muertos, depending on how you stamp and color the images.
For my card, I choose to go with a Halloween theme. To achieve this look, I did not color the skulls to look like sugar skulls. I stamped them with Versamark Embossing Ink and embossed them with white embossing powder. I then ink blended the entire background using Distress Oxide in Wilted Violet. For a touch of distress, I sprinkled the paper with water and then blotted it dry.
To create the frame, I used the Cameo Frame Die and the frame die from the Creepy Cameos Die Set to cut out a layer a frame for my sentiment. We shared about these new dies and stamps on Day 2. I then stamped the "trick or treat" and bats onto the white cardstock. For a touch of texture, I added some Glossy Accents to the bats.
