Hello Newton’s Nook fans! I am so glad you joined me today and I am also up on the Newton’s Nook blog, sharing this cute Halloween card from the new August product release. I didn’t get to join in the fun because I was traveling but rest assured that you will be seeing a lot more throughout the month.

It is so much fun to mix and match a couple of stamp sets and for today’s project, I am showcasing the Brooms & Boos stamp set and dies, Count Newton stamp set and dies, along with the Spooky Street Stamp set.

Step-by Step Instructions:

• Stamp images on Neenah solar white card stock with alcohol-friendly ink and color the images in with alcohol markers.
• Die-cut colored images using coordinating dies.
• Die cut some extra elements on black card stock to create the spooky scene, using the land borders die set and extra tombstone from the Count Newton die set.
• Apply some Unicorn ink on the edges of the tombstone, land and grass borders for added texture.
• Use a circle die to die-cut some masking paper and adhere to an A2-size panel of Bristol smooth white card stock.
• Ink-blend this panel with distress oxide ink.
• Use distress sprayer to add water droplets to the ink-blended panel for added texture and interest.
• Pick up excess water with some paper towel and remove the mask.
• Stamp the spooky tree, bats and sentiment using black ink.
• Adhere the hill and grass border on the card using tape runner.
• Use white gel pen to add some detail to the black tombstone.
• Adhere the rest of the elements to finish the scene.

I really LOVE creating halloween cards and this will be the first of many halloween cards I’ll be posting on this blog. Here’s a closer look:

The white pigment ink on the tombstone, hill and grass border added more texture and interest to this spooky scene, don’t you think?

That is all for today! I hope this spooky card will entice you to start thinking about Halloween! The supplies are listed and linked below for your reference*. Thanks so much for stopping by today, and happy crafting!
