Here are a few close up pics:

I love how the background turned out.

I used my Distress Ink in
"Black Soot" to give the image an old photo feel.

 I opted to color the image in shades of grey so 

that the red roses would stand out more.

I love how this image turned out.

I haven't decided whether I'll turn it into a card

or frame it.

I hope you enjoyed this card & video!

I hope you enjoyed my Halloween 2017 series!

I had so much fun and I can't wait till next year!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Halloween 2017: "Wicked Halloween" Tutorial feat. Stamp Anniething!

Hey everyone it's Elina here & happy Friday to all!

Welcome to Part Eight in my Halloween 2017 card series!

Today's post features the "Melanie- You're Sassy" stamp set from

Stamp Anniething.

If you follow my blog, you know that the 

Wizard of Oz is one of all time fave movies.

So I thought it would be cool to create 

a card featuring the"Wicked Witch of the West".

I will admit she terrified me as a child but now

 I've grown to appreciate her complex character.

You can check out how I transformed the 

image by clicking the video below:

Here are some close up pics:

I love how this card turned out!

The "Flying Monkey" plushie is so cute.

The background turned out cool too.

I had to give the new Distress Oxide inks a try.

I've seen loads of videos using this ink but

I was surprised by how well it covered the paper.

It only took a couple of passes with the blending tool 

to achieve this look.

It also blends well with the regular Distress Inks.

I will be purchasing a few more of these Oxide inks!

I hope you enjoyed this card & video!

Stay tuned for the Finale of my Halloween 2017 series 

coming on Tuesday!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great weekend!

Leaving the area around the image white adds to the ghostly appeal.
