Teen Detectives - Stamp With Laurie

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Have a Spooktacular Birthday Card. Today is my Hubby’s birthday! He’s been hinting at a Scooby Doo card since I made one for my brother back in May (I have posted it at the end) or a Halloween card. So, I made him both! I coloured with my Copic markers the Teen Detectives from Kindred Stamps for the 30 Day Coloring Challenge in June in anticipation of this card. My card is a slimline card since they are all the rage right now.

Instructions for
Have a Spooktacular Birthday Card

I had a ton of fun creating the spooky graveyard scene with lots of sponging and masking! The moon and the ground were masked while sponging Rich Razzleberry around the moon, Night of Navy for the sky and Memento at the edges of the sky. Next, I sponged the ground in Old Olive. Since it is a lighter colour then Night of Navy, I didn’t have to bother masking the sky. I added some hills by using the same masks and lightly sponging some black ink on different angles. Once I removed the masks, I stamped the grave stones and bats in black ink.

I added a slider mechanism for Shaggy and Scooby since they are always running away from the scary monsters in the series! LOL! And in this case, it is the cute ghosts that are immerging from the graveyard! The Large Slimline with Sliders Dies comes with sliders, but I found that they were too long for what I wanted. So, I created my own using the retired Classic Label Punch by Stampin’ Up! I punched one and a half times overlapping in the area I wanted the slider to be. I used some pennies and dimensionals to create my sliders.

A die cut spooky fence, tree and spider with Shimmery Crystal Effects to make it glitter add to the Spooktacular scene!
