Skipping Stones Design September Challenge

Hi Everyone,

for the coming week we have a fun challenge for you here at Skipping Stones Design - the theme is HALLOWEEN

Now I don't have any Skipping Stones Halloween set, so its time to get creative! Nothing better than a real challenge!




For my card I am using this hilarious Skipping Stones Designs set called Dandelion Dreams. I first masked the moon and then sponged with distress inks to get a spooky night background. I then took various stamps and first stamped them  in white. Then I moved the card a smidgen and overstamped with black. Repeated until I was happy. Added the "clouds" - white ink directly to paper. No sentiment, 'cause I don't have one. 


Spooky enough, what do you think?

Happy Stamping!

Better than spooky...that night sky looks like an artist created it...and since you're an artist, you did. I know it's supposed to be Halloween-y but it is so much more. Just gorgeous.

Spooky and fabulous. Great depth and colours. Loving the ghosting technique and the over stamping with the black, works fabulously x I've been away on holiday and so missed popping in to your blog to admire your creative genius! xx

Spooky enough, Cornelia, although I might have cut wings off the butterflies and made bats out of them. ;) The moon and sky are a wonderful inking job.

As always, your ingenuity is at play, creating an eerie scene from things typically not creepy! Fabulous...and, obviously, spook-tacular!
