It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS767) so a big congrats to my choice, Ashley! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the big harvest moon & blue bg, but used different images, dies & technique, & made mine a Halloween slimline.

For my card, I cut a lg circle out of copy paper & used the reverse mask to sponge in the yellows & a bit of orange for the big moon. Then I used the circle cut out to mask the moon & sponge in the blues for the bg. Since it had so much ink on it, I dried it a bit w/ my heat gun before putting it into my Misti & stamping the slimline silhouette image several times, for good coverage. Since it’s all one image, it made the card pretty quick & easy. I used a reverse mask of the slimline clouds die to sponge a bit of white to give the impression of clouds across the top. I die cut the Birthday & 2 Hellos (along w/ their outlines) then did a little surgery to make the word Boo.

We have a fun Get Spooked Challenge on the Ways to Use It (WT816) today. So I think this card will definitely fit right in. For the bg, I used the Wrinkle Free Distress tech on some lightweight watercolor paper using some yellow, orange & purple Distress inks.

When it dried, I used the splatter bg to stamp over it w/ gold ink & used gold embossing powder. Then I put the panel in my Misti & stamped the graveyard & crow.  Leaving the panel in place, I put the white layer w/ the oval cut out on top & stamped the grim reaper, took the white panel off & stamped him again. The tombstone & ghost were stamped on white & fussy cut.

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC776), we are headed to Halloween Costumes. Some really spooky stuff there & I was inspired by THIS picture.

For my spooky scene, I die cut the grey bg & all the crows, bats, tree & owl out of black. The moon is just a largish yellow circle & I sponged some orange ink around the edges. The white fence & tombstones were die cut & I wrote RIP on a few of them & added cracks to others (these are all part of the Spooky House die) . I had a sponged piece of yellow/orange & die cut the pumpkin out of it. For the clouds at the top, I sponged on some picket fence Distress ink on the edges in order to have them show up a little more. Then it was just a matter of piecing everything all together. The only stamping on this was the greeting & I sponged the edges of it, too. The eyes were added on the crows & bats using a white Posca paint pen.
