The two-week challenge at Art Impressions is "Stencils or Mask". This was a fun challenge for making backgrounds. Especially at Halloween since my go to is to mask a moon for a night sky. Always love the way this turns out, slightly different every time.
I used the witch, pumpkin and sentiment from the Art Impressions Peek A Boo stamp set as well as used several dies from various other Art Impressions sets - Fence dies and a couple bat dies from two other AI stamp sets. The haunted tree die was from my stash. I used a circle die to create the moon mask and inked my background with distress oxide inks then removed the mask and used mustard seed distress oxide ink for the moon, leaving a little of the white to create a glow. I also spattered diluted white paint over the whole background. I die cut two fences and pieced them together to create a wider fence. The witch and pumpkin were stamped on cryogen white cardstock and colored with copic markers then cut out with the corresponding dies that come with the set. I also die cut both images with heavy cardstock and glued to the colored image for more stability. I popped the pumpkin up with foam tape and put the witch on a wobble.
I love making Halloween cards, hope you do too!
