Hello there crafty friend!
I was asked to make another custom birthday card with a Halloween theme. The focus was a ghost and pumpkin with teal and purple. I think she mentioned orange too but I couldn't quite work that in.
I started with my background. I went looking through my sketches. I keep all of them in a drawer at my desk so I can just shuffle through them and find what peeks my interest and this fun one was perfect so I could use a bunch of different papers.
Here's the past TOP Inky Inspiration Sketch I used. Isn't it fun?! It's one of my favorites. If you're interested in seeing more inspiration for this sketch you can check it out in my Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group.
The papers I used are from Ink N' Splatter and they're called Spooky Nights. I don't see them on their website, unfortunately. I used the measurements on the sketch to cut my papers and adhered them to a black A2 card base.
I stamped the adorable ghost from the {Boo} to You stamps with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. This is one of the Clearly Unity stamps that are made from photopolymer. I believe it's also available in red rubber. Actually, that's all I'm seeing on the website. The pumpkin is from the September 2025 KOM called Harvest to Holiday. I colored up the pumpkin with BG10, BG72, BG13, BG75, E21, E25. For the ghost I just used C0, C2 to give it some shading. And for the purple pumpkin I used V01, V06, V09. All of the sentiments in the set are for Halloween so I found a fun font and printed it off of my computer. Easy peasy.
I continued the design inside the card. I stamped the other ghost inside and colored it up with just a few Copic markers. I used V01, V06, V09, YG11, YG09 on the hat; C0, C2 for the ghost; and BG10, BG13 for the little pumpkin. This was such a fun card to make! If you need a custom card made, let me know!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Inky hugs,
Crystal
