There are so many gorgeous rubber stamps out there for Halloween, it's so hard to choose which ones to use. So I'm creating and finishing one and all of a sudden I've started another, and before I knew it, I had over a dozen made. This is one batch and then there's a glitter batch.

I was working with spray webbing and decided to try using a neon orange color on black cardstock. Didn't turn out as expected, but turned out ok nonetheless. I then cut up my pieces into ATC sizes and mixed a batch of molding paste with black acrylic paint and created the spiders (Lynell Harlow #LS 28). I'm not  a spider person, but really love this stencil. Then on some I added the spider web lines with a clear Sakura stardust gel pen. Added the words with a quill nib and a mix of yellow/red gouache. Mounted them onto a medium toned Bazzill monochromatic orange cardstock.

Then I continued with the neon orange spray webbing but on white cardstock. Rubber a Versafine Black Onyx stamp pad over the white and some of the orange webbing to make it less glaring. Same spider. On the hairy spider ATC I dry embossed it by hand.

The witch (Inkadinkado Halloween Trails #98548) below was stamped in black and embossed with Judkins Psychedelic embossing powder. The background was colored with Pan Pastels and a little bit erased to mimic clouds. The tombstones (Inkadinkado Happy Haunting #99395) were stamped with the black as well. Mounted to a dark blue cardstock. A few faux star shaped purple rhinestones.

The owl (Owl Flourish folder #37-193) was put through my cuttlebug and trimmed to the size of the ATC. I then ran a Mica Magic Silver stamp pad over the high points and then an Opalite Sterling Frost and a touch of copper. Added the orange epoxy stickers for the eyes.

The 3 pumpkins (Inkadinkado Pumpkins Galore #99137) ATCs below were done on glossy film paper, rubber stamped with the Versafine Black Onyx and then colored with Copic Ciao markers. you'd never know it by the pics below, but the pumpkins were colored with orange and a touch of red. The one with the witch has an alcohol background and then the moon was embossed with white embossing powder. Punched images were adhered onto each. The witch & cat are Martha Stewart punches and the spider is a Punch Bunch punch.
