Sometimes when sit down to I create I have a specific vision for what my completed project will look like. When I was searching for the perfect blue ink for my pumpkin stencil papers I discovered that most of the blue inks in my stash have a purple tone. It wasn't what I wanted, but that Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink ended up being perfect shade for my card today.
I spent some time stamping coloring some images several weeks ago. I didn't have a specific project in mind for them but I knew that I wanted to incorporate them into some projects eventually. This witch image is from the Delightfully Spooky Dracula stamp set by Red Rubber Designs. I colored it using Copic Markers and some other alcohol ink markers that I have in my stash. The purples I used to color the image ended up pairing nicely with my "Chipped Sapphire pumpkin paper!"
I cut the pumpkin paper down to mat my A2 card, I adhered the witch to a stitched hexagon die cut, and then adhered a sentiment label below her using foam tape. The sentiment label was created by applying Lindy's Stamp Gang's Black Hole Black Magicals on black cardstock. I am in love with this shade, it's THE perfect black for me, it has a beautiful black shimmer to it that isn't overwhelming. It looks a little chalky here, it's difficult to capture the shimmer. After it dried I stamped the sentiment using a clear embossing ink and heat embossed it using Ranger Ink White Super Fine Embossing Powder. I then adhered the hexagon directly to the card base. I added a few bat die cuts from black cardstock that I also painted with the Black Hole Black Magicals.
I'm entering this card into a few challenges this week...
