I was short of black paper so I used the piece I had cut the Spellbinder from and used it on the inside to from the image. A simple card, but it was a fun way to use my Nestabilities.
Here is my original design. I used the distress ink handle to ink the tag with spiced marmelade distress ink and then added the mask and applied black soot. I stamped the spider web in Black Archival ink and made a charm using a fragment thagt was scuffed upwith sandpaper and then clear embossed the spider web onto it. I added a bit of Cinder Glimmer Mist and a Grungeboard spider. I'm very happy with how this came out.
This is the time of year that I miss New England desperately! The crisp air, the colored leaves, crunchy Macoun apples.... Oh I miss home this time of year. Now I am in TX, but these past few weeks we have had cooler than normal weather and many rainy days. The leaves aren't changing but at least it is a small bit of fall feeling.
I saw this idea on the Spellbinder's Blog to make a 3-d pumpkin using the Spellbinders Pumpkins Nestabilities. Loved the idea and thought how fun on a fall themed card. I also used an older Spellbinder's Shapeabilities set with the maple and oak leaves and acorn. LOVE that set! I cut and embossed the leaves, colored the stems using the spellbinder as a stencil with Colorbox Chestnut Roan Chalk. I then spritzed the leaves with Tattered Angels Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist to give them a sheen and the large droplets that make them look more realistic.
It's been a long time since I've made this card and don't remember the paper I used, but love how this came out. It was a great chance to practice using my Copic markers. FYI... I'm heading to be certified in Copics in December in San Antonio!!
