Have you seen the Simon Says Stamp Coordinating Dies for Tim Holtz Fall/Halloween stamp sets ? I am sharing one of the new die sets that coordinate with the Monster Reunion stamp set . I had a lot of fun making this project. I just love love love halloween! Card Base:Top folding half sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 white cardstock cut to an A2 size card base. Background: I used a circle cie to cut a mask out of white copy paper and added some removable adhesive to the back and added it to my card base. I then used a set of blending brushes and purple distress inks to create my spooky sky. I added few white splatters as well. I stamped some bats on the sky and cut out a spooky tree and fence from black cardstock and adhered them to the scene with liquid glue.

Simon Says Stamp September card kit - Simply Shabby

Image
I am so happy to share a project using items from the new Simon Says Stamp September card kit. I am showcasing the gorgeous embossing folder that is included in this kit. I was in need of some serious color therapy so I hand colored each bloom and leaf, but if you prefer there is a coordinating stencil and die set for this embossing folder! Card Base:Top folding half sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 white cardstock cut to an A2 size card base. Background: Quarter sheet of white cardstock trimmed down to leave a white border. I ran this panel through the embossing folder to leave raised images. I added a yellow ink pad directly to the smooth flat side of the embossing folder to achieve the yellow backdrop to the raised florals that I colored with copic markers. Focal Point: The florals are really the focal point of this card. Sentiment: I used a strip of vellum that stamped the sentiment in clear ink and used white embossing powder and heat set that. I wrapped the embossed strip of vellum around th...
