Spooky Light Bookmark

I used Heidi's Lighten Up challenge and Lovepug's Book 'em challenge to make this tag/book mark.
I inked a harlequin background stamp (SU) with Distress Black Soot, stamped off twice, misted and stamped on watercolor paper. I stamped over the background with a spider web (Distress Dusty Concord), two different cats, witch feet, and the sentiment (Archival Jet Black). You can barely see him (he's a ghost!) but there is a ghost stamped in neon yellow with a light green souffle pen face ( on the left kind of behind the cat's tail).
I went over a few spots with a Stampers Big Brush pen to touch up black where the texture of the watercolor paper prevented a clean image. The cats' eyes and witch feet were colored with gelly roll stardust pens. I also went over the sentiment with a stardust pen. Lastly, I inked in distress inks and added a bow through the hole in the top.
The tag was trimmed from a larger watercolor background. The top was diecut with a Spellbinders octagon die.TFL

Spooktacular. I'm impressed with how light you were able to get the harlequin background. I like how you inked with the Distress Ink and the spiderwebs were a great touch. Both cat stamps are really cool.

I think this is terrific how you were able to do the background technique with black of all colors, then stamp over another background AND your fun Halloween images. It is delightful to look at!

This turned out wonderfully. I really like the witches feet on the top. Your harlequin background is fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
