SUPPLIES LIST FOR CARD #1
Card #2 Ombré Sky & Fall Fields
See video for how I created this card!
Card #2 Graveyard Greetings
To create this card, I layered the Graveyard Heroscape stamp set in Soft Olive ink first, then Intensified Black Ink, then Red Royal for the flowers. I stamped out the images in Intensified Black Ink and Soft Granite. Then a blended over the top with some Fog Reactive Ink, leaving a light source low on the horizon and creating dimension between the foreground and the tombstones.
I created two top-folding A2 sized cards and a cut out a rectangle window from the first one with the Rectangle Infinity Dies. I created a frame with the Wood Frame Infinity Dies and sandwiched a piece of acetate between them on the front of the card.
Next, I die cut the Greeting fancy die from last months release and adhered it to the front of the acetate window. Then, I adhered the two card bases together to create a tri-fold.
Next, I trimmed down the graveyard scene and adhered to the inside flap of the tri-fold to finish off the card!
Card #3 Let’s Get Cozy
For the third card, I created a tradition!! I love making tiny scenes for the 1950’s TV Fancy Die, so I made a card featuring the Graveyard HeroScape stamp set as the scene on screen!
I created the background with the Crows and Autumn Leaves Bold Prints by stamping it on Dove cardstock with Wet Cement Ink, then with Intensified Black Ink. Then, I heat embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder. With a blender brush, I inked it up some more with Wet Cement Ink to kind of distress the wallpaper.
Next, I die cut the tv 4 times and stacked them up with some Precision Glue. I trimmed a piece of Dove Cardstock for the floor and a piece of Chestnut Cardstock for the trim, adhering them over the wallpaper. I popped the scene into the TV. And to finish off the card, I heat embossed a sentiment with Hero Arts Platinum Embossing Powder onto some Pitch Black Cardstock and trimmed it down to adhere it to the front.
Supplies for Card #3
Card #4 - Shadowy Graves
FUNNEST STAMP SET EVER Award goes to the Graveyard HeroScape! It’s so much fun to make scar movie scenes. This card is super straight-forward. First, I stamped out the various images from the Graveyard HeroScape stamp set.
Then, I masked off the church image and a horizon and stamped the layering moon image from the Color Layering Moonlit Night Stamp Set in Soft Granite and Soft Pool Ink. I wanted to continue the cloudy image to the left of the moon, so I stamped it again off the edge. Then, with some Soft Granite Ink and a blender brush, I blended the sky off the edge, as well.
To create the shadows, I followed the light source and imaged where it would cast a shadow against each object. Then, with a gray Copic marker I flicked out in that direction.
Next, I added some Soft Granite Ink directly to the card base edges to create a border for the card and adhered the stamped panel to the front with Precision Glue. To finish off the card, I stamped a sentiment in the bottom right corner with some Intens-ified Black Ink.
