The Raven




The Lost Coast Portal to Creativity has a fun challenge going on for the entire month of October -  the 31 Days of Halloween!  There will be a new project every day this month with a Halloween theme - the Design Team loves this month, and we go all out!  Please join us with your Halloween projects featuring rubber stamping for a chance to win some awesome stamps from Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda.

I've got a spooky card for this 2nd day of October made with the M Raven 2 stamp and the Grunge Tree background stamp, both from Lost Coast Designs.

I started by creating my background page.  For this I used three colors of Distress Oxide Inks, spraying some of each color on my craft mat and spritzing them all with a bit of water.  I took my white card stock and dabbed and dragged it through the colors letting them drip and run until I was happy with the result.  I was going for a dark and spooky look with this one.

I stamped the Grunge Tree background onto my inked up page using black ink and cut around the edges with some deckled scissors to give it a rough look.  I layered that with a piece of black handmade paper with rough torn edges.

Next I stamped my raven onto a piece of off white card stock using black ink.  I colored him with gray Copic Sketch markers and added a bit of white and darker black to his eye.  I colored the branch he is perched on with dark brown.  I affixed this to the lower right of my card front as shown.

Please join us for the Halloween fun all this month!  We are excited to see what spooking projects you can create!
