For today's challenge, I have created a Halloween party invite using IO Stamps and dies.
For this invitation, I started with a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of heavyweight black cardstock. I die cut the Halloween Scene from the upper portion. I added bits of red plastic film to the reverse side, behind the eye holes of the bat, ghost and pumpkins, and orange film behind the windows of the haunted house.
I then used a inked a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of Fabriano hot press watercolor paper using Distress Oxide inks. I very sparingly used Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, Wilted Violet, and Iced Spruce inks to create the swirled moon colors, leaving as much brightness of the original watercolor paper as possible.
I used Elmer's Craft Bond spray adhesive to adhere my die cut panel to my inked moon panel, them adhered to an a2 top fold Kraft card base. I then stamped my You're Invited greeting on a 1" strip of pale yellow cardstock with Versafine ink. I cut the left side into a fish tail flag, and adhered it to my card front, snipping off any excess on the right edge of the card.
