The Mummy Card

 

        It’s Wednesday and the weather is pretty nice today….but cool at night. Our weather continues to fluctuate a lot though so who knows what tomorrow will bring. I just finished my first quilt guild Zoom meeting – weird way to meet but it is the only way right now. No live meetings until at least the first of 2021 and who knows if it will even happen then. It depends on how the pandemic. I just wish people would stop having big parties without the social distance thing and creating more cases of COVID. We had just over 300 in our province today – too many! Mostly it’s the young crowd that decide to live as if the pandemic is over…and its not!

        Here is another Halloween card.

                                  

      The background was made the same as the one posted on Monday so please feel free to bounce back to check it out. The spider webs are from a Tim Holtz stamp as are the two main figures. The old rail fence is an Art Impression discontinued stamp. This time I used a star stamp that I found in my stash and stamped it a few times around the sky. The trouble with it is that it is an outline stamp only so Distress Ink Black Soot was streaked on a stamp block and squirted with water. Then a very tiny paintbrush was used to pick up the watered down ink and each stamp was painted in. It really didn’t take that long.  The bats are also from T.H. as are the sentiments which were heat embossed in white on black cardstock and adhered with a dimensional strip. The gravestone and the mummy were first stamped onto the card and then onto white cardstock which were lightly coloured and then glued back over top of the stamped images. There are no dies with these stamps so by stamping them first, you get all the little lines and swirls that would be impossible to hand cut.

        That’s all for a lovely Wednesday on September 16, 2020.

Cheers
