Textured Halloween card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Touchy Feely".

I didn't live up to the intention I had to made last week to use the Moon Masks on every Halloween card. I was inspired for this card by the Death's-Head Hawk Moth, such a terrifying movie. I didn't follow the color palette of the moth. I'm really into the Halloween green colors

 

First I started with the background with all sorts of greens and black: Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn, Black Soot, Distress Ink Rustic Wilderness, Distress Oxide Spray Peeled Paint, and Nuvo Sparkle Spray Apple Spritzer. I stamped randomly with Undertaker and Messy stamps. In the corners I used the Spider Web die. For the focal point I used one of the big moth looking butterflies from the Specimen stamp set. I also stamped this on a transparent sheet. To give it texture I used Wings and Bones Mold set to add the skull.

Inspired by Finnabair card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Inspired by an Artist".

This card is inspired by Finnabair, she designs amazing products, and all very unique. The Opal Magic Paint is also really magical in my opinion. And the waxes are fabulous and smell amazing too. The colors I used aren't really Finnabair style, but also they are. I started with a stencil and Texture Paste and applied Distress Crackle Paste in the corners. After that was dry, I coated the resin and metal pieces with a layer of White Gesso.

 

The first layer of color are done with Metallique Paint and Opal Magic Paint. Despite the layer of gesso, the paint didn't cover the resin very well. Probably too little gesso applied. That only reinforced my idea of working with light pastel colors. The next coat was Metallic Waxes. After the first layer of waxes I found that something was still missing, so I used some brighter colors of wax and it suddenly gave it such a metallic rainbow/iridescent effect.
