Happy Halloween! - Hero Arts

Happy Halloween!

To those of you who celebrate today - especially those with children taking part in the festivities - may you have a fun and safe Halloween!

I'm popping in to share a card featuring an adorable stamp set from the September release - Luna the Halloween Cat. It was embossed in Black Sparkle powder, then trimmed by hand (it would be much easier to use the matching dies!) The background is Starry Night Brushstroke Bold Prints, embossed in White and then watercolored. The little moon from the Luna stamp set was also stamped in black and then watercolored, then cut out with the Circle Infinity Dies, which were also used to die cut some vellum. The card was all assembled together as shown, mounted on a Floral card, and finished with Ombre Purple Sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cute card! Every time I try to use these large background stamps like this one (I have this exact one and love it), I get bubbles in the stamp and it won’t stamp a full clean image. It makes them hard to use. I’d appreciate any hints on how to prevent that in a future post. Thanks!

Terebene,

Such a cute card!
