Scaredy Cats

For my last post this month, I wanted to have another go at the spooky moon I made for my DT post using this tutorial.  I really liked the effect and wanted to try it out using different colours.

For the first layer, I placed a plastic circle mask over the panel and sprayed using Distress Spray Stains in Black Soot, Crushed Olive, Dusty Concord, Mustard Seed and Barn Door together with Black Soot Distress Oxide spray, spraying with water to get the colours to mix.  The panels were then dried with my heat tool.

Using my sprayer, I spritzed water around the edge of the moons to reactivate the inks and tipped and tilted the panel to get the inks to streak across the moon then left them to dry.  After they were dry, each panel was lightly sprayed with a matching Distress Spritz Spray.

I decorated the panels using Stamper’s Anonymous Snarky Cats and the Halloween version and the tree branch is from Mr Frostie.  These were stamped and clear heat-embossed to make them stand out from the background.  I added a little shading by applying Black Soot Distress Oxide spray with a paintbrush.  The eyes were coloured with a yellow Posca.

Each panel was mounted onto kraft card and onto a black card blank.  To make the eyes pop, I applied some Glossy Accents.    To finish the cards, the sentiments were gold heat-embossed on black card and attached using foam tape.
