Hello there, Priscilla here from Nubble Light Designs. I am delighted to be back again as the September Guest Designer for Newton’s Nook Designs!
Cue the creepy, eerie Halloween music because for today’s post, I’ve created a haunted night scene complete with an old graveyard, a spooky mansion, ominous-looking trees draped in spider webs, and . . . one totally unexpected traditional jack-o-lantern. LOL! I used 2 Newton Nook stamp sets to make this card: the just released Count Newton set (coordinating dies are available) and the Spooky Street stamp set.
I love to make “colorless” scenes sometimes . . . they are “unexpected” you might say. Today’s card uses only black, white, and gray.
Card Details:
- Using a stencil from the stash, I created a brick wall background using black embossing paste on dark gray cardstock.
- I added a stitched hill using a die and the same gray card stock.
- I stamped the spooky house and trees from the Spooky Street set on white card stock with black pigment ink and then cut them out using my Brother “ScanNCut2” machine.
- I stamped the headstones and jack-o-lantern from the Count Newton set with Copic-friendly ink before die cutting them out, and then colored them in several shades of gray Copics.
- Time to make my haunted night scene! I adhered the spooky trees to the brick wall and the headstones to the hillside.
- I foam mounted the spooky house to create more dimension and “hung” the jack-o-lantern from a tree branch.
- For the sentiment “happy haunts” from the Spooky Streets stamp set, I white heat embossed it on gray card stock and then foam mounted it (topped with a flying bat) above my scene.
- For a cool finishing touch, I “strung” store-bought spider webs from the tree branches to the elements below.
- I adhered the completed scene on to an A2 card base.
I hope you enjoyed my “haunted” Halloween card. Stay tuned to for a very bold harvest-themed card next week, using the contrasting colors of rust and navy.
