Sparkly Cute Boo Notecard Set by Cheiron Brandon
Hi there crafty friends! It’s Cheiron Brandon here and I am thrilled to be sharing a fun Halloween project with you today using Tim Holtz products. I love to send Halloween cards to friends and thought it would be fun to create a girly, sparkly batch of cards using the new Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Spooky Spirits stamps. Did you know that these stamps are the perfect size to pair with all of the elements in the Crazy Things stamp set which has so many cute little accessories including a bow and a jack o’lantern. I also stamped the jack o’lantern again over the ghost “hand”. I am going to make 6 of these at once so I have Halloween cards to send out, but you can totally just create one!
To begin, I stamped one of the ghosts from the Spooky Spirits, bow and jack o’ lanterns onto Distress Watercolor cardstock using Versafine Clair Ink. You will want to use an ink that is permanent when dry since we are going to watercolor on it. Then I took more panels of Distress Watercolor cardstock and cut them to 3 ¾ x 5. I used the Sparkle stencil and added some Distress Sparkle paste through it using a palette knife, then set my panels aside to dry.
While the panels were drying, I colored the ghosts, bows and jack o’lanterns using Distress Watercolor pencils and a waterbrush and dried them with a heat tool. After that, I cut them out (no need to cut out the handles!). Once everything was cut I assembled the ghosts with a bow and jack o’lantern. When the panels were dry, I blended some Distress Inks in Kitsch Flamingo and Saltwater Taffy. Then inside of a splat box, I sprayed over my panels with Distress Spritz in Kitsch Flamingo and Saltwater Taffy. This makes the panels super sparkly and shiny!
To complete the cards, I added the ghosts, sentiments that I stamped and embossed on black cardstock to the card panels before adhering them to the card bases. I hope you enjoyed this pink Halloween cards, I can’t wait to put them in the mail with some treats!
