Halloween series #4 - bit of blending

 Hello friends, I hope Friday is treating you well!

So for this Halloween card I wanted a silhouette effect over a night sky. To begin this slimline landscape card I cut a panel 6.5cm x 14.8cm, out of white card stock. Using a piece of scrap card I cut a sloping hill shape and masking taped either side to my panel of card. For blending I used some foam squares and my oxide ink pads. The first colour blended against my hillside is Seedless Preserves, then above it with Wilted Violet, then above that I used Faded Jeans. I moved back and forward between the colours to get a smooth blend. Once I was happy with the sky colours, I flipped my hillside over to the white area was exposed and the sky was covered. I then applied a light blend of Frayed Burlap to the hillside area. 

I then removed the card stock to reveal the sky and hillside complete. using a selection of silhouette stamps by unknown companies, I added archival jet black ink and stamped them using the Tim Holtz stamping platform. I backed this scene onto some 300gsm black card stock. Before adding this to a card base, I needed some purple card. Unfortunately I didn't have any! so inked a panel of white card using the Wilted Violet distress oxide ink. After letting the purple card panel dry, I used 3D foam on the back of my topper panel and fixed it to the purple base panel.

Finally I adhered this all onto a grey card base. Some sparkle was needed so used my teal glitter spray across the whole design.  There we go, another cute Halloween card!!
