I'm back again with a Day of the Dead card for the 21st day of the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Halloween month long Challenge. I hope you have been making some fun projects to share over on the Portal and a chance to win some free stamps.
This card features the Coatlique Day of the Dead stamp from Lost Coast Designs. This was stamped onto a piece of vellum with black Stayz On ink. Once the ink was dry, I flipped the image over and adhered it to a piece of orange card stock. I trimmed the edges, following the design of the stamp, then layered this with a piece of black card stock and trimmed it in the same shape.
My background is made with a technique called "Stencil Smooshing". Not sure if that is the technical name or not, but the You Tube video where I found this calls it that, and it's appropriate.
I took my stencil and sprayed it with orange Distress Ink. I turned it over and pressed it onto a piece of white card stock, mopping up the excess ink with a paper towel. Once it was completely dry, I repositioned the stencil atop the the paper, lining it up exactly, then dabbed the white spaces with some green Distress Ink. I removed the stencil and spritzed it with Altnew gold spray ink and let that dry. The DOD stamped image was then affixed to the center of the card with foam tape and layered with a piece of white card stock.
You still have lots of time left to show us your fabulous Halloween creations, and we can't wait to see them!!
