I decided to make an early Halloween card and since scenes are one of my favorite things to do, I made a graveyard scene using only Thirdcoast Rubber Stamps (24). They have wonderful, fun stamps for scene building, especially Halloween.
This card is made mostly by masking using Versamarker and clear embossing powder to do the masking. I also used a Stamp-a-ma-Jig for most of it, with the exception of four stamps in the front that I stamped separately, did some fussy cutting on and popped up with dimensionals. I drew in some grass and spider webs. Everything except the sky is colored with Copics after stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black. The sky is sponged using SU ink and then spritzed with SU markers.
I matted the scene first on Bo Bunny Press 12" Pumpkin DP, then black cardstock. The finished card measures 6" X 8".

wow! A great scenic card for halloween. I had to comment. Still as an artist for thirdcoast I think it is so cool and a little dajavu when I see my designed images being used in such amazing ways. Hi! most of the tombstones are images I drew for Thirdcoast. I love the idea of spider webs on some of the tombstones. I wish I would have thought to put some on a few of them when I designed them. A nice extra touch.Oh! and almost didn't see that you use the wolf moon.(One of my favorite images that I drew) Yes! This artist does have favorite rubber images that I have drawn. I don't know if all artist do but since I also play with rubber I do. I also drew a regular moon for thirdcoast. I think Valerie at thirdcoast has it as new images on her site right now. In 4 different sizes if I remember right. I am glad you are enjoying them and it looks like you are having alot of fun creating with them. Take care, Cindy Milliron(coco2764)
