VIDEO TUTORIAL

Watch the video below or on my Youtube channel.

I used a colored background for my card and picked a sheet of dark purple cardstock is cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2”. To stamp the spooky tree patterns I used VersaFine Onyx Black ink, one of my favorite black inks for simple stamping like this. To stamp the pattern I started in the bottom left corner and stamped the trees one by one forming rows. This panel will have 3 rows of trees with about 3 trees in each row. You can also stamp the same pattern on a landscape card if you want.

Next, I heat embossed Happy Halloween sentiment in white embossing powder on black paper, cut it to a thin strip and foam mounted to the card. One of my favorite ways to add interest to a colored cardstock background such as this one is with the help of a white pen. Here I used Sakura White Pen in size 0.8 and colored the ghosts handing from the tress. It’s a bit of tedious task, but I love adding details like this so to me the process is rather enjoyable.

I made the other cards in a very similar way. Minimal stamping and barely any coloring. While these cards turned out a bit too simple, I still like them. Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from all that complexity and do some very simple stamping.

Hello, friends! I’m back from my trip to the UK (I’ll share more about that in another post)…

  1. What a great idea to add those “eyes”! And I really like the drop shadow in white idea. Appreciate your ideas for keeping a card simple. Hope your trip went well and that you had fun!

  2. I love the cards. The eyes are such a great idea. Thanks for the video. You always come up with something awesome. A great way to use the tree stamp in such different ways.
