Step 1 of 14

Cut this beautiful paper, from the Elegant Gold paper pack, to 5 3/4 x 4 1/4". 

Step 2 of 14

Ink on the EMBOSSED side, around the edges of the Magical Dream embossing folder, with the Distress Vintage Photo ink pad and spritz lightly with water. 

Step 3 of 14

Place the decorative paper inside the inked folder and run it through your embossing folder. You can add more ink to your embossed background, with your blending tool and then dry thoroughly with your heat tool.  

Step 4 of 14

Place your circle mask in the top right corner and blend out from the mask with your Sherbet ink, to create your Sun. Dry with your heat tool. 

Step 5 of 14

Stamp the witch and bats, from the Halloween Reflection bundle, in the Midnight ink, to create your "scene". 

Step 6 of 14

Add water to your Confetti Ink and use a paint brush to splatter over your artwork as little, or as much, as you like. I like lots of splats!!

Step 7 of 14

Once your artwork is completely dry, adhere to black card cut to 6 x 4 1/2". 

Step 8 of 14

Cut another coordinating decorative sheet, from the Elegant Gold Pack, to 6 1/4 x 4 3/4". 

Step 9 of 14

Adhere your artwork on to the decorative paper. 

Step 10 of 14

Adhere on to your kraft card blank and pop to one side. 

Step 11 of 14

Stamp the sentiment from the Halloween collection, on to a piece of leftover decorative paper. Trim to size, with a straight edge on the right and a jaunty angle (your choice) on the left. Ink around the edges with the Vinatge Photo Distress ink. 

Step 12 of 14

Adhere your sentiment flush with the right edge of your embossed card. 

Step 13 of 14

Use your white gel pen to add accents and highlights to your silhouette images. 

Step 14 of 14

Finally, draw a black line around the outer edges of your sentiment, to make it "pop" against your artwork. 

You made it!
