Pink Haunted House Card for Catherine Pooler Designs

Hello friends. I have another card to share from Catherine Pooler Designs, featuring products from the Halloween on Main collection. I'm also pulling out a CPD cover die from my stash and showing you how to find other ways to use products in a new way! Scroll down for details! My full supply list is at the end.

But first, let's name this card. I sometimes like to do this, do you? This card is called the Pink House on Haunted Hill. It features the new Made Me Blush ink that I am absolutely in love with. Such a gorgeous shade of pink!

Did you know there's an actual pink haunted house in Savannah, GA? The Olde Pink House currently serves as a restaurant. The history of this mansion dates back to 1771 and is widely considered one of the most haunted sites in America. But enough of that, let's get inky, using the Haunted Manor bundle!

I started by doing some ink smooshing on white cardstock with the CPD Succulent ink. I did two layers of color, heat setting between each inking with my craft heat tool. I love ink smooshing because it's such an easy technique. Have you tried it?

You simply press your ink pad onto a craft mat, spritz with water, then dab your cardstock randomly into the mix. Sorry I didn't get a photo of the creative process, I got caught up in creating and forgot!

After ink smooshing, I splattered a spritzed mix of the Made Me Blush ink with a wet paintbrush.

I love creating scenic cards. Don't ask me why, but my mind went back to May when the CPD Ocean Wonders collection was released. I felt like the bubble feature from the Under The Sea cover plate would be really cool paired with my haunted scene.

So, I grabbed my CPD Midnight cardstock to create the cover plate die cut, using my Platinum 6 die cut machine. Then, I simply hand trimmed the sea weed from the die cut with my scissors, so I'm left with nothing but the outline.

See? Easy peasy! Just what I wanted! I also carefully hand trimmed a hillside slope with the same cardstock, being careful not to cover any of the bubbles, as I wanted the ink smooshing to show underneath. It was a little tricky and I had to make additional snips here and there but..... mission accomplished!

Check out that moon! I love, love, love the moon! I used my stamp positioner to ink it up, stamping first with CPD Tiara ink halfway down, then stamping with Made Me Blush ink for the top half. 

By the way, I saved the black die cut remnant circles leftover from the cover plate die cut, and glued many of those circles to my scene. I also glued sequins onto some of the empty circles using the new Stars Hallow Sequin Mix.

For my cemetery, I inked up the tombstones in CPD Succulent, Mandarin Spice and Midnight inks, and layered my card panel with patterned paper from the CPD Moonlit Manor paper pack.

This is a side fold card and the full dimension are 4 3/4 " by just under 6", because I tend to create first and measure later, haha!

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope this inspires you to find new ways to use other products in your stash. Check out my full, clickable shopping supply list below. If you use my affiliate links to shop, it's much appreciated. There is no additional cost for using these links! Have a great day!

Ghostly Halloween Card

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!

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links.  This does not affect your purchase price.)

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
