Free Broom Rides!!!

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made a card using Free Broom Rides - TT017 by High Hopes Rubber Stamps for the main image and Wicked - FF052 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. Wouldn't you love to go on a magical broom for a ride? I know I would.

To make my card this week, I began with a card base made from Hammermill - Premium Colour 100 lb. cut and scored to be 5.5" x 5.5". I cut the background paper from Echo Park - I Love Halloween paper pad to be the same size as the base and inked around the edges and onto the paper using Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Carved Pumpkin and a Picket Fence - Blending Brush. I applied this directly to the base card using double-sided tape. Using my Cuttlebug and Essentials by Tattered Lace Dies - Easel Slider dies, I die cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and orange cardstock. Using black cardstock I cut another piece to the size of 5.5" x 1.25". I applied this to the base using double-sided tape. I inked around the orange die cut with a Picket Fence - Blending Brush and Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Black Soot. I applied 3M VHB - 2 sided tape to the back of the orange die cut and applied it to the base.

The image and sentiment were then stamped using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured in the image with Copic markers. The sentiment was die cut with my Cuttlebug and Whimsy - Quick Strips Die Set dies. I inked around the edges and on top by first using Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Carved Pumpkin with a Picket Fence - Blending Brush and then around the edges again, this time using Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Black Soot. To finish off the card, I applied 3M VHB - 2 sided tape to the back of the image and sentiment and popped them both up.
