Hello and welcome to the Stamper’s Showcase blog hop. My name is Mo Rootes and I live outside Cambridge in the UK. Our theme this month is Fall/Autumn/Halloween – such a great choice. I have opted to make a beautiful Halloween card using the Life is Beautiful stamp set.
To recreate the Beautiful Halloween card you will need;
Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Mango Melody – 5½ ” by 2¾” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 2⅝” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap strips of Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight & Rich Razzelberry
Using the Stamparatus I stamped the tree image from the Life is Beautiful in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I actually stamped it 3 times to get a good dark image.

I used a blending brush – you could use sponges – to apply ink to the smaller Whisper White panel. I started with Daffodil Delight at the bottom, moved on to Mango Melody then Rich Razzelberry. I finished by adding Misty Moonlight across the top and around the edges to darken in up.

The shrubs from the Nature’s Beauty stamp set were added in Memento Tuxedo Black as was the ground from the Life is Beautiful Stamp set. I didn’t have any bats the right size so added the birds from the Sailing Home stamp set in the same ink

The stamped panel was glued to the Mango Melody with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
Using my lovely Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine I embossed the Basic Black card front using the Old World Paper Embossing Folder. I love this folder……..

I added a flag of Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzelberry to the back of the stamped panel before adding the layer to the card front. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a strip of Mango Melody card and added to the card front. To finish I added a trio of Holiday Rhinestones.
