Let’s get into some spooky details for how this card came together!
I really wanted to make the background of this card as much of the star of the show as the images. I took one a piece of paper from the Purple Smooth Cardstock Paper Pad and ink blended the edges using Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion & Black Soot Distress Inks. I then placed the Vintage Scripts Black Rub-On Transfer over top and very carefully rubbed the acetate to transfer to rub-ons to the paper.
The biggest tip that I can give with the Rub-On Transfers is to work slow and be patient. I have worked with Rub-Ons SEVERAL times, and it’s extremely rare that I fully transfer the rub-on during the first application. When you think you’ve fully transferred the rub-on to paper, begin to slowly peel the acetate away from the paper, and carefully watch to make sure that there aren’t any bits still clinging to your acetate. Do not worry if there are, as you can carefully reverse the pull of your acetate, laying it back down on your paper, and apply pressure to transfer the rub-on.
When my script background was ready, I went ahead and trimmed it down with my Deckle Guillotine Trimmer, doing my best to cut it down to a rough 4″ x 5.25″. I splattered my panel with White Snowflake Watercolor Paper Splatter, and allowed it to dry. I adhered this panel to an A2-size piece of Black Mixed Media Paper Pad.
I stamped out some of the Spooky and Trick or Treat images and colored them up with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers. I also had a few solid images that I stamped out in Tiara, Pixie Dust & Grape Crush Catherine Pooler Ink. Once my images were ready, I used the coordinating die sets to cut them out. I also heat embossed the sentiment “Happy Spooky Season” in white powder on Black Mixed Media Paper and then cut the sentiment out with the coordinating dies.
I used liquid adhesive and foam tape to adhere my images and sentiment to my card. I applied a few Black Gloss Pops of Color dots, and set my card aside for them to dry completely. Once my dots were dried, my card was complete!
