Halloween 2017 Card Making Series – Nuvo Mousses plus Stencils feat Create a Smile Stamps

To start off the card I cut some black cardstock using a die from the Studio Katia Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames Creative Dies set. This die cuts to a standard A2 size, and it’s so convenient that I use it in most of my projects! I then took the Create a Smile Concentric Circles stencil, taped it to my card base, and applied Nuvo Mousse in Black Aubergine in a more or less random way over the card base. I left everything to air dry.

In the meantime I stamped some of the images from the Create a Smile Creepy Cute stamp set on Canson XL watercolor cardstock. I used Ranger Archival Ink in Jet Black and colored them with my Derwent Inktense pencils. I then cut them out using my Cutterbee scissors. 

To add some extra interest to my card, I took a strip of green cardstock and used the Clearly Besotted Basic Spots set to add some polka dots with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I also used the Spectrum Noir IG1 marker to mute the green cardstock a bit, as I felt it was too bright. 

I stamped another image from the Creepy Cute stamp set on the top portion of my card with Distress Oxide in Twisted Citron, and I intensified the color with my Prismacolor pencils.  To add a fun touch I adhered some googly eyes by Studio Katia all over the background.

I also recorded a video tutorial for this card, you can watch it on my YouTube channel!

With this card I would also like to participate in the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.
And that’s it for today’s post! I really hope you liked it, and I hope you enjoyed my first Halloween card making series – let me know which card and which video were your favorites! I will be back soon with another fun project, and in the meantime I wish you all a great day!
