BOO

Morning crafty friends, it's Julianne here bringing you a super not so scary BOO card just in time for Halloween. Since Halloween is my favorite holiday I had to make sure to create a card to celebrate. I love the Mama Elephant Little Boo Agenda Stamp Set, all the ghosts are beyond cute. Mama Elephant offers a bunch of agenda sets if you want to check them out, they offer a bunch for multiple occasions.

I started out by drawing the word boo on some white card stock very lightly so that I could have an outline of where I wanted my images to go. I tried to use all the ghosts that came in the set when laying them out. Before stamping make sure to erase your pencil marks, once you add ink and/or start coloring you won't be able to erase them. Once I had stamped all the ghosts I used the two candy pieces that also come in the stamp set to stamp in between the ghost images.

I colored in all the images using my copic markers, to make the BOO really stand out I also outlined the letters with 3 different shades of purple for a ombre effect. It was about this time that I got a little stumped and didn't know how to do the background, so I put it to the side and moved on to something else. If you ever have a moment like this I suggest that you just step away and come back.

Once I had a moment to think I decided I wanted to cut out the letters to place on a black background to really make the letters pop. 😯 (Now that was super scary!) It took some time to get the letters just right but eventually I was able to figure them out. I took some white card stock and blended both Black Soot and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide before splattering my background with white paint. I adhered the letters with some foam adhesive and added some black sequins to finish off the card.
