Nevermore

This week the Stampendous DT and the Coredinations team are hopping together. 

My project features the black magic cardstock:
What a better image to pair with black magic than the beautiful Stampendous Raven Background?  I started with a piece of the Abracadabra cardstock. I dry embossed the cardstock using the Sizzix Embossing folder.  I sanded the embossed areas using the Coredinations Sand It Gadget. (I love that the sand paper on the sanding block can be replaced after it is used up!)  I added a layer of Adirondack Pearl paint over the embossed ares to add a sheen to the background. 

The raven was stamped using black Versafine ink and embossed with Stampendous black embossing powder.  I added a hint of orange watercolor pencils to the raven and the sanded background.  I cut out the raven and pop dotted him onto the background.

The words were stamped using the Storybook Alphabet set and the Tiny Alphabet Clear Set. I added a touch of white gel pen to the letters to make them pop

The finishing touch is the beautiful May Arts ribbon with twine and a feather.

Nevermore

One of the new stamps from Stampendous is this fabulous Raven with the background script from Poe. The DT from Stampendous are hopping this week using the super fun Action Wobbles.  You can buy these super fun wobblers at The Scrapbooking Queen.

I was inspired to make a steampunk wobbling Halloween card..

I started with misting an embossed piece of white cardstock using gray, green, purple and orange mists.  I distressed the edges.  I then repeated the process on a larger piece of cardstock to create my background.  I stamped the raven and quote on white cardstock.  I treated that background to a touch of orange and green glimmer mist.  I sponged the edges with a touch of black dye ink.

I stamped the raven a second time and cut him out using my trusty detail scissors.  He also received a little orange bath of mist.

Than the fun began with adding wobblers under the bird and the clock faces.  I added additional gears to the clocks along with the hands.  I finished it off with a few clips embossed in aged gold embossing enamel.

When you hold it upright the bird really wobbles with the chain on his hat making it really move.

Now you don't want to miss out on all the fun, hop along to see all the inspiration:
