Spooky Card Series 2017 - The Haunted House

Hey there,

Here is a card I made just before moving from the Craftin Desert Divas digi team to the stamp team. I really enjoyed making it, especially coloring the house, graves and cat in black and progressively seeing the whole scene "coming alive"!

I first started by editing my scene in Photoshop and printing it on watercolor cardstock. I die cut a circle from masking paper, applied it on my panel where I wanted to place the moon.

I also masked the house, graves and cat, and then I started to create the sky. To do so, I used different shades of orange inks and black ink just on the edges.

Next I colored the house, graves, cat and ground using a black zig marker. I applied two layers so it would be nice and very dark. I also colored the windows using yellow and light brown zig markers.
