Haunted Halloween - NBUS#91

 Hello. - I'm excited because today I'm actually able to share a card with you! - Just an update on Hubby,  he's doing quite well since his heart stent surgery.  Thank you to everyone who sent up prayers for him.

So the card I'm sharing today is being shared for NBUS#91

It's my very first time using this stamp set and patterned paper.

The image and sentiment are from Sweet Miss Daisy (aka Anna Wight) - You can find this stamp set HERE.  It's called, Haunted.

The patterned paper is from her Etsy shop as well.  It's called,

Monster Prints and can be found HERE.

I actually started out this card by stamping the image with Versa Fine Clair Nocturne ink on water color card stock.  I then painted the image with water color paints. Then I rounded the top corners with a corner rounder punch and distressed the edges with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink (Ranger product).  I also used some Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink smooshed on acetate, spritzed with water and splattered using a toothbrush.

I embossed a piece of Basic Black cs with a spiderweb embossing folder and used a brayer to add white pigment ink (Hero Arts Unicorn).  Next I used an edger die (Unity Stamps - Not sure if this is still available).  I then took a piece of the Monster Prints patterned paper and randomly painted in several of the eye balls using orange, green and purple water color paints.  I stamped the sentiment with the same ink, rounded the corners and distressed the edges.  A few gold colored gems were added as well.  Image mounted with foam tape.

It's hard to see in the photo but the house itself has a bit of a shimmer as the paint I used had a metallic finish to it.  Sort of a shiny copper color.

Thanks for stopping by.  - It was good to stamp again.
