Hello friends. It’s a couple of weeks since my last post and I’ve been busy cooking up some things in my cauldron. While waiting for a project to dry, I made this quick card to send to a friend for Halloween.
I LOVE the new Sizzix Sinister Bigz die by Tim Holtz! I was a smitten kitten when it was launched on Tim Holtz’s facebook live, and it does not disappoint.
I dragged distress mixed media heavystock through hickory smoke and frayed burlap distress spray. Die cut with the sinister bigz die and blended in walnut stain distress ink to the edges of the die cut. The die cut was mounted onto the card backing with 3D adhesive foam to give some dimension.
The backing mounts are Kraft card, black classic kraft stock sanded with the sanding grip and blended with vintage photo distress ink, scrap paper covered with halloween design tape. The background under the skull is heavystock stamped with the lace stamp from the Tim Holtz ornate and lace set with a frame embossed with the 3D lumber texture fades, adhered over the top.
I loved his gold tooth on the packaging image, so had to include one myself. I covered with a dab of distress collage medium and dipped into gold embossing powder and melted.
I die cut several pieces of foliage from the funky foliage thinlits set. Including some teeny wood grain leaves from a piece of 3D lumber embossed heavystock. I added a piece of mummy cloth, sprayed with rusty hinge distress spray. I covered an idea-ology halloween quote token with picket fence distress crayon.
Thanks for stopping. I will be back this week with my first idea-ology seasonal project and it’s quite wicked…

You did it again, blew my mind!
Zoe, I had not yet seen the Sizzix Bigz Die Sinister 663097 by Tim Holtz. Your card is sinister and amazing, softened by the black lace stamp…perfect for All Hallows’ Eve! 🎃🎃🎃
Awesome card Zoe! Love the lace background. TFS!
I had to come look because I swear, it looks like you used a real piece of lace! Spooktacular card, Zoe!
Love, love, love him!!!! And that gold tooth!!!! Great detail!! Thanks for sharing, Zoe!! 🖤
Wow Zoe! That is so perfect! I just love all of the layered elements in your work 🙂
This looks like a “relatively” simple card until I started putting all the layers together. My daughter will love it. She is getting a card for each day in October. Halloween is her favorite holiday. thanks as always for sharing.
