I have a simple and fun CAS creation to share with you that I created using only the accessory images found in our Eek-A-Boo stamp set.
I started by stamping the corner spiderweb image in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and then stamped the spider 3 times using some traditional Halloween colors. I created texture by added some coordinating sparkly rhinestones to their bodies. Next, I created contrast by stamping one of the fun and versatile mixed & match sentiments in 2 different ink colors. Some fun and sparkly washi tape finished things off nicely along the bottom.
Now here’s my TRICK...
I couldn’t stand the idea of my spiders coming down on black webs when they were so fun and colorful. So to create the lines I pulled out the Noted stamp set and cut off one of the lines from the lined notebook stamp. I was then able to create their webs by stamping it in the same ink colors as I had with the spiders.
The lined notebook stamp was created generously large enough so that I was able to do this without any worries. So my tip/trick is to not be afraid to cut apart sentiments or other parts of an stamp to create something completely NEW, FUN and UNIQUELY your own!
