Trick Bad - Whimsy Stamps

Today I'm share a very short tutorial for this humorous card using Whimsy Stamps and Cardstock Warehouse Products.  

Here is the link to the short tutorial

 The sentiment banner is stamped on Cardstock Warehouse Onyx shimmery cardstock in Ranger Ink Fine detail white embossing powder. Then I outlined it with a messy line in white gel pen. The messy stiching at the top adds to the Halloween feel of the card. The sentiment and the Frankenstein's monster are from the Abby Normal stamp set from Whimsy Stamps.

 

The little bats I stamped on the Gothic Glow background are from the Halloween Bitty Banners. I thought they added just the right touch.
 My thought for this card was to try and have Frank, taking a selfie in the graveyard with the castle in the background. The tutorial shows how I did it, but I stamped two Franks and cut his arm out to make it look like he is talking the selfie. I did have to color in his hand under the phone so it allowed me to move his arm out just a smidge. 
I put a piece of acetate behind the phone as the screen and then inked the edges with Distress Archival Black Soot. 
The phone is popped up on foam strips and could even be a shaket element if desired. 
The phone is also cut from Cardstock Warehouse Onyx shimmery cardstock. I did some messy outlining of the phone with white gel pen. The button and strip at the top are Cardstock Warehouse Quartz shimmery cardstock. I also put a panel of the quartz inside the card and stamped the Happy Halloween from the Abby Normal set. 

That's pretty much it for this very simple card. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a creative day,

Tami
