Hello peeps, hope you are well.
Next week I'll be blogging some competition entries that I've made recently, but first I wanted to show you one I made for a competition last year since it's 'Halloweeny'.
It's three panels of card with arches cut out of two of them to create an old underground basement look. I didn't have an arch shaped die so I cut circles and then cut out the bottom half of the arches manually. To get the texture I ran the card through my ebosser with a brick stencil and then inked over the top with brown Distress Ink
The mad scientist character is from a Personal Impressions stamp set called Time Travel, designed by Lindsay Mason. This was coloured with Promarkers and then fussy cut.
The sentiment is by IndigoBlu and was stamped onto white shrink plastic with Stazon and then shrunk.
It's a bit hard to make out, but I put some wisps of cotton wool dressing (unused!) behind one of the arches for cobwebs. The bats were cut with a Sizzix die and attached with strips of acetate.
For extra embellishments I die cut some cogs from black shrink plastic using a Sizzix die and coloured them with Letraset metallic pens after shrinking. The goggles were from the time travel set again, coloured with Promarkers and fussy cut. I used Glossy Accents to give a shine to the lenses.
