Ready for Halloween? Stitch a spiderweb using the Stitched Burst die, add a pair of bats, some pumpkins and glittery ghosts too! Hi, Jean Okimoto here - subbing glittery bats for spiders because I don't have a spider die. Big bats swooping down over little ghosts...why not?
Spritz the textured side of Open Studio Watercolor Paper with a light mist of water. Sponge or brush the damp paper with ripe persimmon, mowed lawn and black soot Distress Oxides. Spritz it again, then heat-set it. Cut it with the 3-½" x 4-¾" Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die and the Stitched Burst. Punch a ⅛" hole near the center of the burst.
Stitch it with Aunt Lydia's White Pearl Metallic Crochet Thread - tape the thread ends on the reverse side with Scotch Transparent Tape (Magic Tape might tear). The thread makes the web sparkle - like spiderwebs on a rainy day.
Cut the Cave Bat and the 3 bats from the Haunted Entrance Dome Layer set from the black Frosted Glitter Pad 6x6 sheet. Cut the ghosts from a white Delicate Pastel Glitter Pad 6x6 sheet. Cut the pumpkins from a scrap of watercolor paper sponged with ripe persimmon Distress Oxide.
Attach the diecuts to a white A-2 card - use foam dots for the Cave Bat and the second pumpkin from the left.
Blend mowed lawn and ripe persimmon onto the smoother side of Open Studio Watercolor paper - my sponges had some of the black soot ink on them. Stamp the greeting - from the Halloween Pumpkin Clear Stamp and Die Set - with Onyx Black Versafine. Emboss it with detail clear powder. Cut it with the 3-¼" x 2" Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die. Attach the remaining two bats.
I love the stitching dies - for what they actually are, and for what they can be with a little imagination. Like using the Stitched Tree die to create a giant candy corn. That's another project...wish me luck with that!
Thanks for visiting...see you again this weekend...
