Greetings! You've got Kathi here to share a card created for Day 10 of the 31 Days of Halloween feature. I created this card with the
Pokey Pidgeon Rubber Stamp by
Lost Coast Designs. Pokey Pidgeon is wearing his Raven Halloween costume for my card and is quoting some Edgar Allen Poe.
Here's the card!
Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp
Pokey Pidgeon on the left side of a 7" x 5" piece of Bristol Paper, then stamp again onto a piece of repositionable sticker paper.
Color
Pokey Pidgeon with Copic markers so that he looks more like a Raven than a pigeon.
Fussy-cut the sticker paper version and place it over its counterpart on the image panel.
Place a piece of repositionable Scotch Tape horizontally across the image panel right above
Pokey Pidgeon's feet.
Place a slimline cloud stencil towards the top of the image panel. Brush or sponge Stormy Sky Distress Ink over the top of the stencil onto the image panel. Brush or sponge Villainous Potion Distress Ink over the stencil over the stencil onto the image panel.
Flip the stencil 180° and move it downwards. Brush or sponge Stormy Sky Distress Ink over the top of the stencil and the masked
Pokey Pidgeon onto the image panel. Brush or sponge Villainous Potion Distress Ink over the stencil over the stencil and the masked
Pokey Pidgeon onto the image panel.
Repeat the above steps another three times until the stormy and cloudy sky background fills the image panel.
Brush Lost Shadow Distress Ink onto the white areas of the clouds to darken them a bit.
Mist the image panel with water and use a paper towel to blot up the bigger droplets.
Move the repositionable Scotch Tape so that it's sitting on the separation between the sky and the bottom area while covering
Pokey Pidgeon's feet and legs.
Sponge or brush Pumice Stone Distress Ink over the tape and the masked image onto the bottom area of the image panel.
Place the "Nevermore" stencil to the right of and the masked
Pokey Pidgeon and secure with low-tack tape and/or magnets. Sponge Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink over the stencil onto the image panel.
Use low-tack tape to cover the word "Nevermore". Move the stencil slightly so that the splats and splotches are in an open area. Sponge Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink over the stencil onto the image panel. Repeat this process until you are happy with the amount of splotches and splats.
Remove the tape and the stencil from the image panel. Remove the mask and use Copic markers and/or a black fineliner pen to touch up
Pokey Pidgeon if necessary.
Increase the size of and the masked
Pokey Pidgeon's pupils with a N7 Copic marker. Use a white gel pen to add highlights to his pupils. Use a white colored pencil to add a highlight to
Pokey Pidgeon's beak.
Use a black marker to deepen the black of the word "Nevermore".
Trim the image panel to 6.75" x 4.75" and edge with Nocturne VersaFine Clair. Adhere the image panel to a 7" x 5" card.
