Skullduggery!

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone well! And I hope you weren't in the path of Hurricane Michael! We had a few inches of rain & some windy conditions but nothing too bad. Seems wherever the storms hit this year, we're getting a piece of it here. Not something you expect living in the mountains so far north in the state. 

Skullduggery..isn't that a super word for Halloween? And I thought it went well with my skulls. On this first one, I stamped it on white, then used a Copic multiliner pen to draw all the patterns before coloring them in. I used a white paint pen to add more teeth & some white dots. The spider web was stamped multiple times on the black using persimmon oxide ink. Love how it gives it a spooky glow. 

Supplies:

stamps: DRS Designs -  Scary Skull,  It’s a Scream, Empty Spider Web (inside: Deco Halloween Greetings )

paper:  Staples 110# white, black, X-Press It white

ink:  Memento tuxedo black, Distress oxide ink ripe persimmon

accessories:  Copic markers, Copic multiliner pen, ODBD pierced rectangles & pierced circles dies, Sizzix ornate labels & mini skull dies

Now this skull was stamped & I used a flower image to mask & stamp all the flowers before coloring them. For some reason, a little of the orange & red bled into the white areas so I ended up fussy cutting all of the white areas out. That must have been the trick part of the trick or treat. The iron fence was stamped across multiple layers & I had to put them all in the Misti to accomplish this. I used a little temporary tape to hold the layer together, stamped them, then carefully removed the orange layer to stamp the fence again on the white. Otherwise, I don't think I could have lined them up so well. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
