Spooky Puzzle

Hey there stampers! How are you?  Hope you are having a great day!
Today's project is actually a puzzle!  I found some of these premade puzzles at our local craft store in the clearance section and thought it would be fun to stamp on and send. 

STEPS:


  1. Ink up Frightful Fence Jumbo Wheel in Black Craft Ink and roll onto blank puzzle.  Sprinkle Black Embossing Powder and set with Heat Tool.
  2. Ink up tree from Branch out in Black Craft ink and stamp on ends of puzzle.  Sprinkle Black Embossing Powder and set with Heat Tool.
  3. Ink up ghosts from Twick or Tweet stamp set omitting the sentiment in Black Craft ink, sprinkle Black Embossing Powder and set with Heat Tool.
  4. Using a Brayer, ink up whole puzzle with Apricot Appeal ink.  Wash off brayer.  Punch sticky part of a Post It note using the 1 3/8" Circle punch to create a mask for the "moon".
  5. Set the moon mask where you want it and ink up the brayer with Pumpkin Pie ink.  Roll about 1/2 way down the puzzle until you get the desired look.  Clean off brayer.
  6. Ink up brayer in Rich Razzleberry ink and roll towards top of puzzle until you get the desired look.  Wash off brayer and ink with Basic Black.  Roll along top edge of puzzle until you achieve desired look.

  • STAMPS: Frightful Fence Jumbo Wheel, Branch Out, Twick or Tweet
