Strolling Skeletons: Day 14 of 31

Greetings! It’s Day 14 of the 31 Days of Halloween. Today I have a card featuring the Strolling Skeletons Stamp from Stampendous.

I stamped the image with VersaFine ink in Onyx Black. With all of those small details, I couldn’t imagine using any other ink for this stamp. I then colored it in with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I kept the palette simple and stuck to greens, oranges, purples, and grays.

I felt that the background was too stark to leave white, so I rubbed on Desert Sand Memento Ink to tone down the white. And I like the effect the ink pad gives to the paper, which is Canson’s Mixed Media. I trimmed the image down and rounded the corners.

I made my card base out of Sweet Potato cardstock from My Colors and sprinkled on Spoonful of Midnight around the edge. You’ve got to heat this from underneath, since there’s no embossing medium holding it on temporarily. That’s it for me today. This was a pretty quick card, once the coloring was complete.
