Haunted Tree: Day 26 of 31

Hello! Today is Day 26 of the 31 Days of Halloween. My card today features the Haunted Tree stamp from Stampendous, cardstock, and not much else. You can get a cool card without a lot of "stuff" depending on how you use the basics, which in this case is cardstock. Below is my full tutorial on how to make this card.


Supplies:
Stampendous:
R295: Haunted Tree

Other:
My Colors Cardstock: Velvet Night, Plum, Evergreen, Grasshopper
Imagine: VersaFine Ink in Onyx Black
Zig Clean Color Markers: 035, 043, 044, 062, 065, 068, 075, 083, 091, 093, 096, 901
Kraft Cardstock
Water Brush
Heidi Swapp: Edge Distresser
Canson Mixed Media Paper
Scotch ATG Gun


Directions:
1. Stamp the Haunted Tree with Onyx Black VersaFine on to Mixed Media Paper.

2. Color the image using the listed Zig Clean Color Markers listed. Use the water brush as desired.

3. Crop the image.

4. Use the Edge Distresser to tear up the edge of the colored image.

5. Create the card base out of Kraft cardstock, cut to the size of 6 1/2" x 10."

6. Cut pieces of Velvet Night, Plum, Evergreen, and Grasshopper to 4 1/2" wide.

7. Tear the bottom of each of the above mentioned cardstocks to create a rough edge.

8. Layer the colors together from Grasshopper on the bottom, followed by Evergreen, then Plum, and lastly Velvet Night. The cardstock height altogether should be approximately 5 1/2" high.

9. Attach the cardstocks to the Kraft card base.

10. Attach the Haunted Tree to the card.

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one.

I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
