Hello cardmakers! Today, I'm featuring this fun Ghostly Halloween card for Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps. I have a few tips for you, on this ink blended scenic card. Grab your favorite beverage and let's hang out for a few minutes!

First, I blended some Ranger Ink onto my Strathmore watercolor paper, using distress oxides in Wilted Violet and Spiced Marmalade and Festive Berries distress ink in the center. All my blending was done using the Ranger Ink blending tool.
Next, I did some offset stamping, using my Misti stamp positioner, using the Ghost Vamp stamps. They're too cute to be creepy, don't you think? I stamped them with black dye ink directly onto my colored background, then grabbed a water brush and diluted some of the color to look more ghostly.
*Please note, when using a water brush to dilute, blot with a paper towel but please DO NOT continue blotting with the same wet spot on your paper towel, or you will end up splotching your background. Trust me on this! When blotting, make sure each time is a dry spot on your paper towel. You can thank me later!
To color my ghost eyes and create stars on my background, I used a white gel pen. You can add sparkle to your sky using glitter and glue dots as well.
I created a hill top with black cardstock and stamped my Haunted House On The Hill. I blotted the color in my windows to dilute again with a water brush, then, once dry, colored in with a yellow white gel pen.
Lastly, I masked my Muggle sentiment so I could stack my wording and stamped and then outlined my sentiment with a white gel pen. I also masked the Deathly Hallows symbol from the Always stamp as well. Many of the stamps that I used today are from the new release.
You'll find more on the stamps that I used today along with special offers and our Halloween Challenge over on the Crackerbox & Suzy Blog today so be sure and stop in.
Thanks for stopping by! Terri
