I absolutely love Halloween. It is easily my most favorite day of the year, so I was so excited when a last minute spot opened up in a Halloween swap. I did not have much time to pick a subject, carve and create a card so I decided to go with a Corpse Bride theme. I am a huge Tim Burton fan and never get tired of carving his work.
For this card I made a tripple layered mat and added a fourth layer of the cut out stamped image. For the mat I used coordinating paper from a paper book. I know those $20 books look so expensive ; but, if you use a coupon you can buy them for a decent price and to be honest the paper is usually a lot nice than the loose card stock. Also the paper almosr always coordinates well with other sheets in the book, so that helps take the guess work out of things.
I colored parts of the stamp with Prisma, Marvey and Distress markers. It took forever and reminded me how much I hate coloring. Finally I cut heart shapes out with my Cricut and painted them with Black Soot Crackle paint. Even though the card took forever to make, I wouldn't change a thing. I'm hoping next year to get in a swap much earlier and go with a more intricate carve.
