Transforming Stamps

Hello! Back today with a card that features a technique that I love doing...transforming stamps. I took a house from THIS set and made it into a Haunted House for this Halloween card...
A closer look...
I cut jagged holes in the windows to appear as their broken. I also "boarded up" the one window with strips of kraft paper inked with walnut stain distress ink. I added a spider web in the top window and blacked out the door so there is no door knob to make it look abandoned. I finished it off with some glossy accents on the windows. Another favorite technique of mine is to ink up THIS cloud stamp in black on kraft paper...makes it spooky!

I hope this inspired you to look at your stamps in a new light! :)

Have a great weekend. Hugs!
