Fox Costumes Before 'n Afters - Halloween Card #6

I'm back with another card for Halloween!  Couldn't wait to used my new Lawn Fawn Fox Costumes stamps and make a fun fall themed card.

I started by finding an inspiration photo on Pinterest then picked out some Distress Ink and Oxide colours that I thought matched quite well.

I cut a scalloped slim panel from Strathmore Bristol Smooth card stock using Scalloped Slimline Die from Time for Tea Designs.  Using an assortment of Distress Inks I ink blended the panel.  The colours I used were Distress Ink in Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade, Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans & Black Soot.  I also used a little Weathered Wood Distress Oxide to blend from orange to blue.  To add some distressing to the panel I splattered on some rose gold metallic paint and some black paint.  I set the aside to dry.

I stamped and cut the foxes and coloured them in with alcohol markers.  A list of the main colours used can be found in the colour map pictures below

The grass banks the foxes are each standing on were made from black Sparkle card from the Autumn sparkle card pack.  I cut a long strip, 1/2" wide and then ran the strip through the die cutting machine with a grass border die from the Landscape Borders die set by Time for Tea designs.  I cut the strips in to 2" lengths.  The strips were adhered with liquid adhesive at alternate intervals down the card.

To give the strips the scalloped edges I ran the whole panel back through the die cutting machine with the same scallop slimline die.  

The scallop panel was adhered to a white heavy weight card panel measuring 8 3/16" x 3 3/16" then the white panel adhered to a black slimline card base.  The card base measured 8 1/4" by 7" scored at 3 1/2" to create a card front measuring 8 1/4" 3 1/2".

Scotch 3M foam tape was secured to the back of all the foxes and adhered to the card on the sparkly grass banks.  The accessory images (some from Fox Costumes and some from Spooky Village stamp set) were applied using liquid adhesive.

For the sentiment I stamped 'Trick or Treat' on to treated black card stock with Versamark Ink, coated the inked piece with Ranger Super Fine White Embossing Powder and heat set with my heat tool.  I cut the words out using my Tim Holtz Guillotine Trimmer, popped double sided adhesive on the back of each piece and secured them to the card.  A T-square ruler helped to get the strips straight.

To finish off the card I added some 'BOO' and 'EEEK' all over the background with Versafind Onyx Black Ink and a few bats from Spooky Village stamp set.  I applied some Nuvo Aqua Shimmer pen on various elements of the copic coloured images for some subtle sparkle.  Lastly I added a few small dots of glue and adhered some small gold star confetti.

I really hope you enjoyed this card, I really had fun making it!  Check a out the YouTube video below for a full how-to tutorial.
