Are you ready for another sneak peek from the 2022 July-December Mini Catalog? Today's card features the Scary Cute Stamp Set and Scary Silhouette Dies as well as sponging with the blending brushes and embossing with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool.
Did you know that you can create embossed patterns with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool? That's right! You can! I used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to create an embossed grid on a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock. I placed the Smoky Slate cardstock in the upper left corner of the Simply Scored and scored every 1/4" across the cardstock. Then I rotated the cardstock 90 degrees and scored every 1/4" across the cardstock. This created an embossed grid pattern.
Next I sponged Starry Sky and Parakeet Party around the edges of the Smoky Slate cardstock to highlight the embossed grid pattern.
I also sponged the Parakeet Party ink all over the Basic White cardstock mat with the stamped Frankenstein's monsters cardstock mat and Orchid Oasis ink around the edges to give it a creepy Halloween glow to the center.
On the inside of the Card Base I stamped the moon image in the upper right corner and the group of trick-or-treaters in the lower left corner with Momento Tuxedo Black in. It looks like the moon was not stamped correctly, however, this is the texture of the stamp. I also got a "seagull" or an extra line of ink around the right side of the trick-or-treaters.
This extra line of ink is from pressing the stamp into the ink pad too hard and from rocking the stamp's edges into the stamp pad. My best friend's mom calls these extra lines of ink "seagulls".
Instead of editing the photo to remove the "seagull," I am leaving it in for two reasons.
- One reason is that even demonstrators and stampers that have been stamping for a long time make stamping mistakes.
- The second reason is that the "seagull" acts as a motion or action line, giving the impression that the trick-or-treaters are running to get more candy. It is a great way to make a stamping mistake into a design element. That is the story, and I am sticking with! Lol!
