Did you know that Brutus Monroe has a Stamp of the Month Club? It’s a sweet little deal and if you’re interested in the details, click HERE! So, how freaking cute is this vampire candy corn?? He’s this month’s image for the Club and we all loved playing with him! My card involved some masking and stamping but was worth the extra effort! I began with a piece of Bristol Smooth card stock and stamped my first little vampire then heat-embossed with black. I created a mask so I could cover him up in order to stamp the second one. Heat-embossed in black again and so on till I had filled my panel with scary little vampire’s! In the process, I got a few inky fingerprints on my panel, but knew I’d be covering it with a layer of black ink, so didn’t sweat it!Next I pulled out my new Aqua Pigments and did a little color mixing since I don’t have the complete collection. Mixing colors was easy and I can lighten or deepen my shades by the addition of water or extra ink! I added shading to the white parts by watering down the tiniest drop of black pigment!To fill in my background, I had to cover the top layer of vampire’s with the masks, then using upward strokes with my sponge tool, I added Zest Surface ink to the panel. I covered most of that with a heavy layer of Black Soot distress oxide ink, then a final layer of Raven Detail ink!Next I moved the masks to the bottom row of vampire’s and filled in the space below, again with Black Soot then Raven. I used a black Zig to deepen the color below the candy corn. BITE ME was heat-embossed in white over the black. I enhanced the eyes and teeth with a white gel pen.I trimmed down my panel with Stitched Rectangle dies, then mounted it to another panel upon which I’d stamped Dance With Denim in Carved Pumpkin oxide ink! I like the textured look of it framing my card on a black base card! Lastly, the Trick or Treat sentiment is from an old CTMH stamp set called Thriller. This card was pretty fun to make and I loved seeing it emerge! Now, let’s see what the Inspiration Team has made with their Stamp of The Month! HEATHER LAURENMARIEJESS
