Creepy Scary Spooky

September 11, 2024 - by Gaylynn

Happy Halloween Eerie Characters Card

Hello, Gaylynn here.  Are you ready for Fall festivities? This card is for spooky Halloween greetings. These Halloween eerie characters needed spooky night scene building. I used a mix of dark cardstock, colored pencils, ink blending and paint splatters to create this card.

These eerie characters are fun to work with for spooky night time Halloween scenes.

Helpful tips:

In summary, prepare an A2 card base in black. Also, trim a white inside liner for it. Next stamp each character next to each other in a row using black ink on gray cardstock. Also, trim that panel into a narrow rectangle shape. Then, add white and orange colors using colored pencils. Next, using round detailed ink blending brushes, add touches of distress oxide ink to the characters. Also, add black soot distress ink blending all around the scene and sentiment panels. Then, add distress paint splatters onto the card front and over the character panel. Heat set to dry everything. Finally, using thin foam tape, layer the panel and the sentiment over the card base, to finish.

This is another look at the card.

Finally, see this quick video process below.

Get Your Spooky On ~ Fun Fold Card

 Hello there crafty friend!

Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with one last Halloween card for the All Things Halloween Challenge in the Unity Show & Tell group! Today I thought it would be fun to share a Fun Fold card using a few Halloween stamp kits and cute Halloween papers.

For the front of the card I used papers from the Trick or Treat {paper pack}… I distressed the edges a bit with some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink. My card base measures 8-7/8 x 5-1/2″ and I scored it at 2-1/2 and 6-3/4″ on the longer side. It’s slightly larger than an A2 card base so that the left front flap overlaps the right front flap.
I have had the Spooky Girl stamp on my desk all month just waiting to get inky and it was finally her time! I stamped her with Gina K. Black Amalgam ink and then colored her up with the following Copic markers:
Skin ~ E000, E00, E11
Hair ~ YG11, YG23
Hat ~ N0, N2, N4, N6,BV00, BV11, YR15, YR21, YR68
Clothes ~ N0, N1, N2, N3, N4, N6, BV00, BV11
I fussy cut Spooky Girl and cleaned up the edges with a Memento Tuxedo black marker. And then popped her up with some foam tape to add dimension!

Don’t forget to add a touch of fun to the inside of your cards!! I adhered a strip of pattern paper and did a little third generation stamping for a couple of the spooky images for the inside using the adorable Little Boos stamp kit. A fun way to tie in the whole theme of the card and leave space to write to your recipient. I stamped the sentiment from the Creepy Spooky & Scary Itty Bitty stamp to finish off my card.

Third Generation Stamping is when you ink up your stamp, stamp the image twice on a scrap of paper, and then stamp it one last time for a lighter shade.

There’s just a few days left to join in the fun over at the Unity Show & Tell group! I know Halloween is just a couple of days away but that doesn’t mean we can’t start working on our cards for next year!

Inky Hugs,
Crystal
