Simon Says Stamp | I Want to Halloween with You
I am really into Halloween cards. I think I have finally built large enough of a stash to create all sorts of Halloween cards – cute or spooky. I played with Simon’s Spooky Silhouette background stamp to make this card.

CARD DETAILS
The Spooky Silhouette background stamp is a pretty unique stamp. I love the design and how well it stamps. This is a perfect stamp to pair with some cool cardmaking techniques. Since I am so into ink blending with Oxide inks, I ink blended an orange-purple background to create a backdrop for this image. I then stamped the design on top in black ink, cropped it out to 4 1/4 5 1/2″, and added a pre-printed sentiment on top. Easy and loads of fun!
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
- Ink blend a background on Simon’s 120lb cardstock with Distress Oxide inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Festive Berries, and Wilted Violet.
- Stamp Spooky Silhouette over ink blending in VersaFine Onyx Black ink using a MISTI stamping tool.
- Spray background with Distress Mica Spray in Tarnished Brass (it has been years since I used this stuff!)
- Adhere background to A2 white top folding card base.
- Die-cut a sentiment from Simon’s pre-printed sentiment strips. I used one from a Halloween set, I think it’s been discontinued.
- Embellish card with Gold gems. Gold works well with the yellow and orange ink blending.
Here is a few close-up of this project:
Have fun stamping!

August 25, 2021LOVE the glow of the moon! I did not realize that stamp had the “specked” texture in the sky– really makes for a great look. Just the perfect Halloween stamp– quick and easy for making multiples!
