Getting Ready for Halloween

Here is my Halloween sample I shared at the party, using Beyond Baskets (wash tub) and spookies from Basket Additions 3.  I used Copics C-1, 3 and 5 and to add streaks to the tub to make it look galvanized, plus some Lionet Gold Copic for brass stripes, and then crimped some Pure Luxury Silver Lining cardstock to make a make a matching mat.  Doesn't that look so sharp with the Black Onyx?

 

TIP: When using a paper crimper, load your paper and look at the SIDE of the cardstock (not the top edge) to see that the edge of the cardstock is parallel to the sides of the crimper, then gently squeeze to hold the paper in place and check to make sure the sides are still running parallel. If not, loosen your grip and adjust. Then crank the paper through.  Your crimping should be straight!

Something I like about this handle, you can stamp it facing up or down to look like it hanging down the side or the tub is hanging from a hook.  With the clear stamps, you can stamp the handle right over the image, I didn't bother to mask, just colored, and then underlines it with C-5 to crate a shadow.  You can also cut the handle out with the Silhouette cut file.  Another cool thing, because of this image's flexibility you can literally pull it out or in to make the handle taller or wider if desired.  This wire handle with the wooden grip can can also be added to the baskets in Spring Basket or Holiday Basket.

I've had some people write and ask where to find certain samples from previous posts. Anytime you are looking for a project that uses a certain set or you want inspiration of certain stamps, simply look in my labels section on my right hand side bar.  All sets and tops care listed alphabetically and who the number of posts it has been featured in out to the side.  Just click and scan through them all at once.  Sometime I need to use them as well to remind myself what I've already posted!  Hope this helps!
