Have A Web-tastic Day

Not too spooky, just a little bit cutesy, this grinning jack o’lantern is all smiles as he peeks out from a tangle of spooky spider webs. He looks like he is ready to light up the night, tell a few pumpkin jokes. He is just one of a trio from the Patchwork Pumpkins by Pajama Crafter Stamps, and each pumpkin has its own playful personality. For this card, I created my own inked spooky background using several shades of purple ink, blending them together to give the scene a rich, magical Halloween glow. Then I trimmed it out with spider webs to add a little eerie texture, a little crafty drama, and just the right amount of boo-tiful fun.

My friend is colored with Copic markers in the following colors:  

• Y32, YR12, YR15, YR18 - pumpkin
• T1, T3, T5, T7 - gray
• YG61, G43, G46 - leaves
• Y00, Y02, Y13, Y17 - yellow
• YG11, YG05, YG63 - bright green
• RV10, RV02 - pink
• V01, V12, V15, V17 - purple
• B000, B00, BG02 - blue

The sentiment is the from cardstock using the Dang, Whoa, Yikes! Word and Shadow Die Set.  I dusted the edges of the yellow shadow with a little Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Ink.  The letters were dusted with a bit of Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink. To add a little more interest to the letters, I used a marker to add a few little lines and stars similar to using a white gel pen.  The smaller sentiment at the bottom corner of the card is from the Boo-larina Stamp Set.  

This little guy just makes me so happy and makes me look forward to spooky season.  How about you?
