Happy Thursday! I'm back with another Halloween card to share with you with embossed stamping!
The design was based on Sketch #1 for the September Card Sketch Challenge @ Scrapbook.com.
To make the purple sky, I used my blending tool with Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet Distress Inks, so I could dip a brush in water to make the clouds. Then I used an old toothbrush dipped in water to make my stars, in addition to the small, orange pieces of bling.
The owl stamp from Graphic 45's An Eerie Tale, was stamped in black, and embossed with Ranger's Clear Embossing Powder, along with the diamond border. Then I used Prima's Circle Stitch stamp to highlight the moon. I used Vintage Photo and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink to color the owl, using a marker for the beak and eyes. Finally I added this sparkly black flower, which I made years ago, adding orange bling to the center.
