I know, I know, you are all getting sick of seeing this stamp set right? Sorry, this will be my last post using this for a while. Even if I make anything else with it, I will wait to post it so I can give you all a break, LOL. I am really not sure why I love this set so much, my love of Halloween and seeing all of the cute little kids dressed up or my love of Pirates of the Caribbean and Johnny Depp (this set so reminds me of that movie)! Probably both!
Well on with the card details. The card base is Basic Gray cardstock. The top portion of the card uses SU's new designer paper called Cast-a-Spell which is layered onto Basic Black cardstock. The bottom piece of designer series paper is from an older retired package of paper called Ghostly Greetings. I just love how these coordinate even though they didn't come from the same package of designer series papers. I know that you can't really see this but I sprayed both pieces of designer paper with my homemade shimmer spray to make they sparkle!
The main image is stamped with black ink on Whisper White cardstock and was then colored in with red marker and the skull and cross bones were highlighted with Crystal Effects to make them glisten. When stamping the sentiment I used my SAMJ to make sure that it was straight. I stamped with craft black ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder.
The ribbon used is from the new Mini Catalog and is actually shown as a Christmas ribbon. I really think it looks great with this set though because of the stitching on the ribbon which matches the dots leading to the X. To add a little something to this, I pulled out my retired Chills & Thrills rub-ons and put these two skulls on the ribbon. Just adorable huh? Did you know that you can use SU's rub-ons on the ribbon. It is super easy and looks just wonderful. Can you picture the possibilities doing this? Give it a try on your next card, you will love the results!
Hope you all had a great Saturday.
Happy Stampin!
