Happy Halloween featuring "Halloween Traditions" Stamp Set

Creepiness is all around the blog this months with Pumpkins, spiders, webs, puppies, ghosts, tombstones and more.  I decided to focus on the creepy spider web that was just calling my name! It is the stamp set, "Halloween Traditions" that is included in your Creative Cafe Kit.

 Mary-Ann here to take you through how I put this creepy card together.  

I started with a 5x5 card base of the lime green.  I cut a white piece 4 3/4 x 4 3/4.  I then cut a black piece 4 1/2 x 4 1/2.  I found three nesting circle dies (here you could use three different size glasses or whatever you can find that are round).  I placed them on my black paper and sent it through my cutting machine.

I then placed my black on top of the white and lightly traced where the circles were going to be.  Now, set the black paper aside.  I used extra scrap paper or sticky notes to block off what I didn't want stamped.  I inked and then placed the web stamp in the center of the circle.  I repeated this process, moving my sticky notes around blocking off other areas I didn't want stamped.  Once this completely dried, I went back and erased the pencil marks.  

Now I back the entire black piece with foam tape.  On the webs, I stamped spiders and embossed with silver embossing powder.  You can do any color you prefer. I then placed clear gems in the center of each spider body.   

Once all the layers were in place, I added a spider with a long web down the left side.  I just turned the stamp upside down to use the straight line.  I stamped the ghost with white ink on white paper, and used white embossing powder to get this look.  I took a black pen and colored his facial features.  Added the sentiment and a gem and I was done.

Keep coming back if Halloween is your thing!
