That's the Spirit - Whimsy Stamps

 Hello! This is the second of the cards I have made for the Whimsy Stamps Halloweeners Design Team. I had this card planned to make for last year but just never got around to it so I saved the sketch and made it this year.

This is the video tutorial I made for this card. It is a little longer than I planned because I had a "scary" experience in the middle of filming and so I told all about it. Hahahaha. So if you aren't one for story telling during a tutorial, just ff through that part or mute me and watch the video in ff. LOL

 I used the Notched Rectangle Die to cut the woodgrain paper from the Farmhouse Paper Pack. Then added a Large Fastener from Tim Holtz Ideaology. I put just a tiny bit of Distress Crypt Grit Paste on each brad or Long Fastener and it made them look old and rusty.

This is the Mason Jar Die from Whimsy Stamps. I stamped the Goth Skulls Rubber Stamp onto paper and inked it before I die cut the jar to make it look like it was full of skulls.

The lid was colored with Brushed Corduroy Distress Stain and then I put some Distress Crypt Grit Paste on it to mimic crusty rust.

 The label was made from the large tombstone die in the Dracula's Coffin Die Set as was the skull. The sentiment was from Spirited Sentiments Clear Stamps and the two leafy images were from the Grave Epitaphs Clear Stamp Set.

The cracks in the background paper were from the Grave Epitaphs Clear Stamps. I color some Distress Watercolor Cardstock with some Pumice Stone Distress Stain with a couple of drops of Brushed Corduroy Distress Stain, then stamped the cracks from Grave Epitaphs in Black Soot Archival Ink.

That's basically all there was to this card. I included some additional details in the video tutorial.

Thank you so much for stopping by and reading through this post! I'm thankful you appreciated the time it took to make this post enough to read through to the end. 

Have a creative day!
