Newton’s Nook – Spooktacular Halloween with Hot Foiling

Happy Wednesday everyone! I’m so happy to be over on the Newton’s Nook blog today. I have a card featuring some super fun hot foiling and a pile of Halloween critters that are too cute to spook!

I started my card by die cutting a scalloped rectangle in the Framework die set using white cardstock. Then I hot foiled the spiderweb in the corner using Spellbinders pink foil. Then I ink blended from the corner out using a light pink dye ink to intensify that cute pink look.

Next, I stamped and colored Halloween Pile with copic markers and used the coordinating die to cut it out. I also cut a banner from the Frames & Flags die set to stamp my sentiment on. I wanted to pull more green into the design so I used the same copic markers from the witch hat on the flag before stamping my sentiment.

Before putting everything together, I ink blended black soot distress oxide ink on the outer edge of my card front and splattered it with water. Then I popped my scalloped panel up with foam tape and did the same with the sentiment and critter pile.

For finishing touches I added some silver mirror enamel dots across the design. Then I added black glaze pen to the open eyes and touch of gloss to noses, tow beans and beaks.
