Spooky Season Card | RECIPE
Let me show you how to create this ‘Spooky Season’ Card!
With Halloween just a few weeks away I thought it would be fun to create a simple Spooky Season card and feature the 2nd Generation Stamping Technique.
For those of you that have never tried 2nd Generation Stamping, I have created a short HOW-TO video for your convenience. Before we get to the video, however, let’s find out what the definition of 2nd Generation Stamping is…
The DEFINITION:
2nd Generation Stamping is a technique used to show color variations on a project, such as I did with the stars. It can also be used to show depth, such as I did with the pumpkins.
The DETAILS:
For this project I decided to work with the Boo Crew Collection, particularly the stamp set and the nectarine gingham paper. I also brought in a little black cardstock to help enhance the overall theme of Halloween.
The INGREDIENTS:
