Mama Elephant Halloween Card and a Galaxy Background

Here is the last Halloween card I made with the Mama Elephant Bootastic Stamp Set:

I used a lot of different items to make this card!

• Martha Stewart Happy Halloween Stamp Set
• Mama Elephant Bootastic Stamp Set and Matching Dies
• MFT Small Brick Backgroup Stamp
• Various Distress Oxide Ink
• Versamark
• Stampendous Detailed Black Embossing Powder
• Various Copic Markers
• Lawn Fawn Hippo Ink

To make the card, I first created the Galaxy background for the card.  I made this using a technique shown by Jennifer McQuire (click here to see the details).  While that was drying, I then stamped the small brick background, using the Hippo Lawn Fawn ink.  This was then colored with Fired Brick Distress Oxide Ink.  I then stamped the images from Bootastic, colored them with various Copic Markers, and cut them out with the matching dies.  To the front of an A2 sized card, I added a strip of dark green card stock.  A small portion of the Brick wall was then added.  The Galaxy background was added to the top of the card.  The images from Bootastic were added.  To complete the card, I stamped the bats from the Happy Halloween stamp set, along with the sentiment in Versamark.  Embossing Powder was added and heat set to complete the card.

Halloween Card with Mama Elephant

I've used the Mama Elephant Bootastic Halloween stamps several years now. They are perfect for the cards I make for the grandkids.  I also just got the Distress Oxide inks and had to play with them. Here is another card made with these stamps:

I used the following to make the card:

• Mama Elephant Bootastic Stamps and Dies
• Various Copic Markers
• Martha Stewart Happy Halloween Stamps
• Distress Oxide Ink
• Versafine Black Onyx Ink
• Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

To make the card, I stamped the images from the Bootastic stamp set, colored them with various Copic Markers, and then cut the images with the matching dies.  Distress Oxide Inks were used for the background. The fence, bats and bird from the Happy Halloween stamp set were then added with Verafine Black Onyx ink.  The sentiment was added, and the Bootastic images were added to complete the card.
