Ghost Haunting by Darsie Bruno, NY 2009
Glossy Cardstock: 5.25" x 5.25 inches, Dye Inks, Colorbox Stylus
Stamp Credits: Bat (Hero Arts). Others by Stampscapes
For this technique, I cut out a ghost on scrap paper and laid it down on glossy cardstock sized 5 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. With the Colorbox Stylus I added color with Memento inks in this order: Tangelo, Potter's Clay, Lady Bug, Rhubarb Stalk, and Tuxedo Black. I also used Marvy Ink Pad "Wine" between the Rhubarb Stalk and Black.
After removing the ghost mask, I laid the piece of scrap paper that I cut the ghost from, over the inked part of the card which revealed the white part of the ghost. With Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped Eerie Moon, then the large Cloud Cumulus stamp above and below the moon. With the Stylus, I added Memento Grape Jelly ink to the upper and lower portions of the ghost (the stamped clouds). With a paintbrush, and black ink, I added the eyes and mouth for the ghost.
I stamped the bat in the moon, then used the Large and Small Spooky Branch on the outer portion of the card. Once finished, I mounted it to a piece of black cardstock, then a purple card.
