I recently had a visit with my cousin who is all about Halloween. This girl goes all out. I've seen it and yes, it is quite the spectacle.
With Fall just around the corner, I was totally in the mood to ink up some Unity stamps that I've had for awhile, and after getting all pumped up from my cousin on Halloween, that's the direction I went. I actually won this set last year in a blog hop. It's called Halloween Chatter.
I plan on entering this in a couple challenges this week: Simon says stamp Wednesday challenge and Unity Friends with Flair. Scroll down if you'd like to see how I made this.
First, I started out with a metallic silver embossed card, then cut several frames with nesting dies and my Cuttlebug. Next, I inked up the smaller frame (which was cut on watercolor paper) using Spellbinders Celebra'tions Pretty Plum ink (this ink is luscious & juicy!), an orange distress marker and the Unity sentiment. Once stamped, I touched up with water and a paintbrush to add some fading around the lettering. Need some spooky, right?
I splattered some October Afternoon Jack O'lantern Sprinklers around the sentiment for more creepy fun. I usually unscrew the spray nozzle and tap lightly for better control.
The orange fuzzy ribbon was cut in strips and secured with rolled up mini glue dots. I added some sparkly orange Queen & Company bubbles, fussy cut the spider and black cat, and adhered with pop dots. Happy Halloween!
What a fun sentiment. It's perfect for Halloween! Lovely details and design, Terri! So glad that you join the fun over Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!
