OMG!!!!! Isn't this just the best Halloween crew??? I think so. Who are they you ask? They are a new release by Riley and Company called Spooky Hollow Fangtastic. These little Grimmies are illustrations by Ellis Carmon from Spooky Hollow Folk Art. There are 4 separate stamp sets and all of them are just amazing. I will be posting cards soon with all the different sets so keep and eye out.
I decided to do a square card for this one because I wanted to make sure I got all three of my friends on it. To set the scene, I wanted them standing in front of a full moon. I didn't have a moon stencil that was big enough, so I made my own by using a circle die to cut it out.
As I was planning my layout, I used scrap cardstock in my Misti to place my friends. I stamped all three not caring if they overlapped. I used the moon cut out to make sure that I had the placement just right.
I stamped my guys on Gina K. Masking Magic, cut them out, just inside the line. I didn't worry too much about trimming around the real fine lines because I was going to use matching colors to fill in the gaps once I was done inking. I peeled off the back of the masking paper and covered my guys. The think to remember before stamping is to stamp the images that you want in the very front first and then the background one second. So for this card, I stamped my two outside images, covered them and then stamped my tallest guy.Next, I used my Lawn Fawn Grassy Stencil to ink in the ground using Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink. Once my ink was dry, I used the stencil to cover up my grass and moved on to inking the moon.
