Welcome to the annual 31 Days of Halloween over on The Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where it's Halloween all month long. To celebrate, I made this card was made using the M Raven 2 stamp and the Spiderwebs background stamp, both from Lost Coast Designs.
My raven was stamped with black ink onto white paper and fussy cut out. I colored over him with a gray Copic marker to fill in the white spots, and also added some color to his beak and the branch he is perched on. I affixed an orange gem to his eye, which I think kind of gives him a siniste look!
The background is a not terribly successful attempt at stencil-smooshing - spraying Distress Ink onto a stencil, turning it upside down on a piece of paper, and pressing it into the paper while wiping up the excess ink with a paper towel. But when I stamped this with the Spider webs background stamp, it really came to life. I then sprayed it with some Antiqued Bronze Distress Mica Spray. It gives it a great metallic sheen, which is hard to photograph but is a great touch.
This was layered with a white panel, and I stitched around the perimeter with black thread.
So we hope you will join us all month for the fun of another Halloween with Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda! And a chance to win some free stamps when you post your makes here on the Portal.
