Smeared and Smudged 31 Days of Halloween 2014 Blog Hop- Day 26

Welcome to Day 26 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop. As you know by now, I am participating in this month-long blog hop with some extremely talented artists.  The complete list of Wicked Bloggers (that's what we are called) are in my side bar.  There are lots of prizes in the daily scavenger hunt, and a Grand Prize worth over $300.

I want to share a card with you today that I made using fairly non-traditional Halloween colors.

Stamp the bats background onto a piece of the print paper with black StazOn ink.

Spray several colors of ink over the page, keeping the colors light.  I used purple, orange, and yellow ink colors mixed with water in a mister.  Trim paper around stamped bats to 4" x 5-1/4" and set aside.  I layered this piece onto a slightly smaller black card stock, then onto a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" top-folded orchid card.

Stamp broken winged dress form onto a piece of white card stock and a piece of  acetate.  Use the Smooch inks to color the image on the white card stock and fussy cut, removing the bottom half of the image.  Adhere to card, as shown.  

Die cut the largest oval curves frame from black card stock and align it over the acetate image.  Glue it to the acetate and remove excess around frame.

Adhere acetate with frame over the stamped and colored image, aligning both pieces up.

Stamp "Dead Men Tell No Tales" onto a scrap of the ink sprayed paper from earlier, punch out with a labels punch, and edge with a black big brush pen.  Adhere to lower right corner, and two punched bats from copper glitter paper to the upper right corner.
