Scary Cute Silhouettes Card

This is a card I cased from Michelle Zindorf.  It was so adorable I had to make one and I hope to teach my club members how to make one too.  Her video was free to anyone on YouTube.  She is such a talented artist.  I love her cards.  I made a few other cards with variations using different embossing folders and different ribbons.
This one uses the Glitter Washi Tape from the 2022 June-December Mini.  I also used the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder from the Annual Catalog.

This one uses the 1-1/2" Metallic Mesh Ribbon and Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder from the Annual Catalog.



Stamp Set:  Scary Cute

Cardstock:  Basic Black, Basic White

Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Cajun Craze, Gorgeous Grape, So Saffron, Gray Granite

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Layering Circles Dies, Stamparatus, Blending Brushes, White Gel Pen, Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder or Brick and Mortar, Black and White Gingham Ribbon or Glitter Washi Tape or Metallic Mesh Ribbon, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, White Gel Pen, Post-it Note

 

1.     The base of the card is Basic Black cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored in the middle.

2.    The second layer is also Basic Black cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” and inserted into the Embossing Folder of choice.  Wrap ribbon around the bottom and secure in back with tape.

3.    The Basic White cardstock is 4” x 4”.  Place the post-it note circle at the top middle to create the moon.

4.    Take the Pumpkin Pie ink pad and a Blending Brush and make circular motions around the moon, but leave white space at the bottom.

5.    Take the Cajun Craze ink and a Blending Brush and make circular motions about halfway down the Pumpkin Pie.

6.    Next, take Gorgeous Grape and a Blending Brush to make circular motions at the very top to create a night look.

7.    Remove the post-it note and add So Saffron ink with the heaviest in the center of the moon using a circular motion.

8.    At the very bottom, in the white space, add Old Olive and a Blending Brush in a circular motion but leave a small layer of the white space for where they will walk.

9.    Insert the 4” x 4” in the Stamparatus.  Ink up the three Scary Cute kids with Tuxedo Black Memento.  You may need to do it several times to create the silhouettes.

10.  Ink up the sentiment “Trick or Treat, You’re So Sweet” with Tuxedo Black Memento and insert it into the moon.  Add bats with Tuxedo Black Memento.  Emboss the Basic Black front layer with the Embossing Folder of choice and wrap the ribbon of choice around the bottom.

11.   To create the shadow, you will need a Gray Granite ink pad and a heavy piece of plastic (from an old Stamp-a-ma-jig).  Remove the Scary Cute kids from the Stamparatus, and stamp each one at a time on the plastic.  Place below the correct kid but upside down so that their feet match up.  Press your fingers on the plastic to push the ink into the paper.  Use the White Gel Pen to create the moon shining on their heads, arms, etc.
