Halloween Fun

Hi Creative Friends,

We are excited to introduce you to our new guest JB (IG: inkblissbyjb).  She loves card making and has a super fun Halloween card to share with us today. She is using the cute and scary Halloween Train by Pretty Pink Posh.

 

Hi Everyone!  My name is JB and I’m excited to be the guest on The Foiled Fox blog.  My card today features the Halloween Train and coordinating dies by Pretty Pink Posh.
I started with Bristol smooth panel cut at 8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ and placed Tim Holtz moon mask and began to ink blend with distress oxide Blueprint Sketch, Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet. I used the 2nd moon mask and blended with Shaded Lilac.  Once completely dry, I added some clouds with Lawn Fawn cloudy stencil using Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment and let it dry again.  I placed the solid moon mask back on and  splattered with perfect pearls and black Sumi ink and set aside to dry.

I also cut a strip of Bristol smooth 1/2” W  by 8 1/2″ L for the road and ink blended with distress oxide Hickory Smoke and Black Soot.  I splattered with Hickory Smoke with a little water along with Black Sumi ink.

I stamped all the images with the help of an Misti onto Spectrum Noir Cardstock. I used Memento Tuxedo black ink and the Pink Fresh Studio Stamp Press. Then, colored with Copic markers. Here is a list of the colors I used.

• Engine – V04, V15, V17, BV17, YG01, YG03, YG2
• Carts – same as engine
• Window – TO, T1
• Wheels – C5, C7, C8, C2, C3, C5
• Large Pumpkin – Y19, YR68,  YR07 (eyes) – Y15, Y18, Y35
• Candy corn – Y08, Y18, Y19, Y38,YR04,YR07, YR09, W1, W3, blender
• Small Pumpkins – Y38, YR04, YR07, YR09
• Bats – ink blended the dies with hickory smoke and black soot, then stamped with memento tuxedo black
• Smoke – same as bats
• Links – C2, C3, C5
• Tracks – same as links
• Ghost – C2, C3
• Spider – C2, C3, C5

Now on to assemble, I used Gina K tape runner for the road. When I was happy with the placement of all these pieces, I used Press’n Seal to hold in place.  I used Tombow liquid glue for the images.

I embossed the sentiment using an anti-static powder bag, Versamark, and white embossing powder.  Then, mounted the panel using my tape runner to a white Neenah 110lb card stock card base measuring 8 3/4 L by 7 1/2 W and scored.

For the final touch, I carefully added Diamond Stickles with a pin to the webs on the train. You can find supplies listed below.

I enjoyed sharing my card with you and hope you found something inspiring!

Happy Crafting!
