Assembly Tutorial

 

Supplies

You'll need three 12x12 sheets of 80# textured black cardstock (Encore "Jet Black" is perfect), one letter-size sheet of vellum (orange or plain), and one 12x7" piece of patterned or specialty paper. The original patterned paper (Pumpkin Time by Simple Stories) is discontinued, so try a warm vintage look like orange plaid, small damask, aged book text, or ledger print. An optional orange alcohol marker works well for adding "streaks" and/or coloring plain vellum.

For inking, use Ranger Distress Ink in Frayed Burlap (Oxide) or Picket Fence for that soft, ghostly edge, plus a black inkpad (Color Petal set 1025) to enhance the panel edges.

Assemble with Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue or Scotch Quick-Dry Tacky Glue.

For texture, run stem pieces through an embossing machine (Sizzix Big Shot) with folders like Barbed Wire (Sizzix) and Boo to You (Cuttlebug)--or substitute any subtle linen, woodgrain, or irregular pattern you love.

Illuminate yours with a 5" electric candle lamp or a string of warm white LED fairy lights.
