Spooky Card Series with Hello Bluebird - Monochromatic Slimline Card

 Hey there,

I'm glad to be back with a monochromatic card showcasing Frightful Little Bits by Hello Bluebird. I like to make that kind of card for Halloween, I think it gives an extra spooky mood to a project.

I stamped my images using memento tuxedo black ink. I cut them using the coordinating dies and used my alcohol markers to color everything.

To create the background I started by die cutting trees using the Birch Trees die set. I cut them out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock and used hickory smoke and black soot distress inks to color them.

To ground my little spooky scene, I cut three borders using the Ocean Waves Scene Horizontal die. that I colored using hickory smoke and black soot distress inks.

For the sky, I cut a circle out of masking paper that I attached in the middle of a Strathmore bristol panel, and again I used hickory smoke and black soot distress inks to create a dark sky. Next I added a lot of texture: water drops, black drops, white drops and also sparkly stars.

When the background was finally done, I removed the mask, attached the borders using foam tape, and used liquid glue to stick the birch trees on either side of the Moon. Next I attached all my cute images using glue dots. And finally I added white highlights on the images, as well as some grass details on the borders.
