Step 1 of 6

Choose one of the frame papers from the Creepy Chronicles paper pack and ink around the edges with Bittersweet. 

Step 2 of 6

Secure your circle mask in position and blend out with Bittersweet, creating the effect of the Sun appearing within the frame. Drag some of the ink across the Sun to create the illusion of wispy clouds.  

Step 3 of 6

Intensify the Bittersweet around the outer areas before blending around the edges with the Black Soot. Splatter a few drops of water over the inky sky, wait a few seconds then mop up the excess water and ink with a paper towel. 

Step 4 of 6

Stamp the Crow (or Raven), with your Midnight ink to get a crisp intense black image. 

Step 5 of 6

Adhere your artwork on to white card measuring 5 1/4 x 7 1/4" and then onto the front of your black card black, leaving more of the card blank visible at the bottom. 

Step 6 of 6

Stamp the sentiment in Midnight, on to a scrap of white card and trim to size. Mat on to black cardstock, trim to size then adhere centrally, with foam pads, at the bottom of your card. 

You made it!
