Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing A Monstrous Birthday Card using Wednesday from The BFF Stamp Set by C.C. Designs. Today is my big brother’s birthday and I always send him cards that suit him. He has a twisted sense of humour. So, I knew he would get a kick out of my card!
The Details of My Card
I love the new Wednesday TV series and when I saw these stamps by C.C. Designs, I couldn’t resist getting them to colour! Since Wednesday is always in black, I pulled out my Cool Copic markers to colour her up. To make her eyes pop, I used a matt black gelly roll pen on them. Of course, I had to include Thing as her sidekick.
For my card, I wanted to recreate the scene from the show where she is entering through the gates to the Gates Mansion. So, I pulled out my spookiest dies, papers, and Basic Black card stock.
The Kaisercraft paper had a spooky scene with trees and crows laminated on the black night sky. Why do all horror shows have the characters enter a scary haunted house at night! Lol! Since my card is in blacks, I used the Haunted House die and my embossing mat to get a lot of detail in my house.
Next, I used several dies to create my hill and ground that the house stood on. For the gates, I die cut them and them rubbed Brushed Iron Metallique Wax to make them stand out from the black background.
I thought the sentiment “Have a monstrous birthday” was perfect for my card! So, I white embossed it and trimmed the sentiment piece to create a flag. I added some die cut black glimmer bats to my scene to add sparkle.
