How to Make a Spooky Night Scene with Lil' Inker and the Gel Press

Are you feeling spooky? We're having a Halloween blog hop at Lil' Inker Designs this week, celebrating some bewitching new items to coordinate with the already-awesome collection of Halloween goodness that Lil' Inker offers.

For today's cards I made some funky and fun backgrounds on my Gel Press. The Gel Press is a rubbery gel-like plate that I rolled some ink onto and then pulled a print onto a sheet of white cardstock. (Not familiar with the Gel Press? Check out this blog post with tutorial, to learn all about it!)  

From there, I created my simple die-cut scene. I love the way the purples and blues, plus the splatters on top, created a spooky night sky. It's the perfect Halloween night scene! For this card I used the brand new Spooky Script die - isn't that font gorgeous (and well - SPOOKY with those eyes!?) It paired perfectly with a cute sentiment from the Boo & Faces stamp set. 

For the next card, I made my background the exact same way, rolling out three or four different shades of ink across the Gel Press. For this scene I focused on the large and small Spooky Word Dies. I added some enamel dot eyeballs . . .because, well - how could I not? ;)

I hope you'll stop by all of the designers' blogs and enjoy their BOO-tiful crafty projects - this is day 1 of our TWO day hop so be sure to come back tomorrow, and comment along the way and you'll be eligible to WIN all three of the SPOOKY word dies plus the Bats & Broomsticks Dies.
