Hello! I’m back with an interactive double slider Halloween card tutorial that I made for the MFT YouTube channel.
As soon as I saw the Ghostly Greetings stamp set, I knew that I wanted to have those cute ghosts appear from behind the tombstones. The best and easiest way that I found, was using a double slider mechanism. Although I love the Double Slider Loop Slots Die-namics, I didn’t use any dies for this mechanism. It’s really easy to make, so do check out the tutorial, even if you’re not an interactive card fan like me.
Before telling you a little bit more about the card, let’s see it in action!
To create the background, I used the Rolling Clouds Stencil and two tones of Distress Oxide Inks; Seedless Preserves and Victorian Velvet. My blending brush had some blue on it from a previous project, which affected the colors a little bit. For the grass panel, I used Evergreen Bough and Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Inks. The sentiment is also from the Ghostly Greetings stamp set. I stamped it with Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.
Copic markers used for the double slider Halloween card
I colored all of my stamped and fussycut elements, with the following Copic markers:
Ghosts: C2, C00, BV00, R00, 00
Jack-o-lantern: YR27, YR24, YR21, YR68, E57, E55, E53
Leaves: YR27, YR24, YR21, YR68, G94, G43, G40
Tombstones (stamped on Steel Gray Card Stock): C5, C4, C3, C00, G94, G43
Shading on trees: C5, C3, C00
Shading under each element: G12
The trees that you can see in the background are from the Haunted House Die-namics set. In case you’re interested, HERE’s a recent card that I made with all of the dies from the set.
