CCC 80 – Ghosts of Christmas Past

Happy Friday!!!! This week’s Creepy Cute Chronicles stamp is Ghost of Christmas Past. If you have not signed up for your free stamp every week go to Oddball Stamps.

I water coloured the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush and Bristol Smooth cardstock. I really love how easy they are to use and gives a great result. I created the background first by starting with a piece of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock. I used the ink smooshing technique with Distress Oxides. Ink smooshing is taking a piece of plastic wrap and smooshing your ink pad on it. Spray with water to activate the ink. Then press your paper on the wet ink. Dry you paper with a heat tool and use another colour or the same to get a deeper colour. Keep layering until you achieve the effect you are looking for. I stamped the music notes over it with Altenew Obsidian Ink. The music stamp is from Frog’s Whiskers Ink.
