Halloween Night Sky

 

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here today. Halloween is quickly approaching, so I am sharing a spooky night scene card. This time of year it is always fun to create bold scenes with colours I rarely use for backgrounds like purple! I created this nighttime scene using the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection with the Haunted House clear stamp set. 

For the background, I used a circle mask in my stash and sprayed temporary adhesive to attach it to watercolour paper. I spritzed the paper with water and sprayed uncharted mariner Distress Spray Stain, I used my Ranger Heat It tool to dry the panel. Next, I added snow flurries Distress Mica Stain spray and once again dried this with my heat tool. I removed the moon mask and gently spritzed the side of the moon with water to create that 'spooky' moon look. I dried the panel with my heat tool, I find it is vital to dry the panel after spraying it with stains or water. I just love how mica stains really make things pop!

 

For the ground, I ink-blended villainous potion and black soot Distress Oxides. I then used a silver shimmer spray on top of this and dried it with my heat tool. I die-cut it using the Slimline Hillside Scene Dies. I created a 5-inch by 6 3/4-inch card base and used liquid glue to adhere the panels. I ink-blended squeezed lemonade and scattered straw Distress Ink onto the moon area. 

I resized the cat on the broom digi in Photoshop and printed it on Neenah Solar White 80 lb card stock. I stamped the sentiment and haunted house (I masked certain areas of the stamps to get the look I wanted). I used my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e to cut out the images, coloured everything with my Copics and added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. I also used the Gelly Roll Pen to add stars to the sky.

 

I used liquid glue to stick everything down to the card base. I ink-blended black soot Distress Oxide to the edges of the card to complete it.
