Do not adjust your computer monitor.......
Hey stampers! No you don't need to adjust your computer monitor this really is a post with a new project. As a Stampin'UP! demo, I am not really suppose to post projects that high light other companies products..which I understand but with my mojo being a little off..I am going to take inspiration where I can so there are some Stampin' UP! products and some non SU products. This is a Halloween card that I made using a laser cut sticker by Mrs Grossman's. Now while this is gorgeous and I love how it turned out...it will be one of kind because the other sticker that was in the package got ruined because I didn't think my project all the way through...and really I might make more you never know. Anyway on to the card. The sticker is black and it is spooky Halloween night. I started by putting my sticker on a neutral card stock. Then I took my black water color pencil and colored in the night. Then I used my Sakura glitter gel pens to color the windows of the house so it looked like someone was. I colored the moon with my yellow water color pencil and colored the word "boo" with purple and then went over it with the purple Sakura glitter pen. I took a blender pen to smooth out the pencil lines in the night and in the moon. Then I took yellow Stickles glue glitter and went over the windows again. I wanted my moon to look 'foggy' so I used white Stickles on it. I set it aside and let the Stickles dry. Then I took my homemade 'glitter mist' and sprayed the scene. The 'glitter mist' is rubbing alcohol mixed with silver Pearl-ex powder (which is one of the first things I ever bought as a SU customer and it is retired now). Because it is rubbing alcohol...it takes a LONG time to dry but gives a gorgeous sparkly to the black scene. Once it was all dry, I trimmed it down so you couldn't see the light color anymore and then I used Rich Razzleberry to trim it. The sticker is 3 x 3 3/4 so I cut my Razzleberry to 3 1/4 x 4. Then I used Tango Tangerine as my card base and put my sticker in the upper left area of the card. I then added some bat stickers that I have. and put a black strip of card stock along the bottom and 3 glitter brads in the new In Colors, I used the Peach Parfait, sounds yummy right. And on the inside I stamped "Trick or Treat" using a retired hostess set from the last catalog.
