Light Bulb Moments

Happy Howl-o-ween!

Good morning! Ardyth here with this week’s Light Bulb Moment!

This week, I made an adorable Halloween (or should I say Howl-o-ween) card!

I created my background with 4 DIY stencils I made with a square die and sticky notes. I blended distress ink into each of them. Two tips here:

  1. I love precision. I love it when everything is lined up perfectly and evenly. But it’s not always easy to do. Because this card is meant to be fun, I made the squares wonky on purpose to save some work and bonus – it adds interest. So much easier!
  2. If you blend from the outside to the centre, leaving the centre lighter, the boxes will look like they’re glowing!

Then I stamped my Monster Mash images and coloured them very simply using a limited number of Copic markers. I cut them out with the matching dies.

I cut my label and stamped my sentiment and then lined everything up on the card. I realized I still had some space, so I went back and found some pumpkin images (from Indian Summer), and placed them on the card as well.

Here’s a quick video (Click HERE if you cannot see the video)
