Happy Halloween

Happy Thursday crafty friends!  I have a sweet Halloween card to share with you today.


This cute little witch is from the Penny Black Mimi Halloween stamp set.  I've had this stamp in my stash forever and finally decided to show it some inky love!  I diecut a panel of bristol card and sponged it with Spun Sugar and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks.  I splattered it with white gouache and thinned black acrylic paint.  I stamped all the images on Neenah, colored them with copics, and fussy-cut them.  I used a black gel pen on the witch, kitty, and ghost eyes and highlighted them with a white gel pen.  I heat embossed a sentiment from a My Favorite Things stamp set and adhered it to my card with foam tape.  I adhered all the images with foam tape to give it some added dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous day!

Boo!

Happy Saturday friends!  Today I'm sharing a fun Halloween card that features both clear stamps and digital stamps by Streamside Studios.


I cut a square panel of bristol card and sponged it with Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks.  I spattered the panel with white gouache and adhered it to my 5.25" x 5.25" card base.  I diecut the Hello Bluebird Full Moon Scene Die from black cardstock and adhered it to my cardbase.  I diecut a circle and sponged it with Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, and Black Soot Distress Inks and adhered it to my card.  I used images from the Little Halloween clear stamp set, along with digital images from the Fairy House Builder and Magical Pumpkins stamp sets.  I colored all the images with copics and fussy cut them.  I used a black marker around the edges of all the images to help hide the imperfections in my cutting.  I adhered all the images to my card and used a white gel pen to add some highlights to the cheeks of the images.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous day!

Wishing You A Delightful Halloween

Hello crafty friends!  I'm sharing a Halloween card I made for a sketch challenge over at My Favorite Things!   

These cute images are from the My Favorite Things Delightful Halloween stamp set.  I colored the images with copics and used a black glaze pen on the fox eyes and nose.  The fun plaid is from Doodlebug Design Oct 31st 6x6 paper pad.  I cut a strip of Bristol card and inked it with Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers, Villainous Purple, and Black Soot Distess Oxide Inks.  I spattered the strip with white gouache and adhered it to my card base.  I fussy cut the haunted house and fox and adhered them to my card with foam tape.  I heat-embossed one of the sentiments from the stamp set and also adhered it with foam tape.

You're Berry Sweet

Happy Monday friends!  I hope you had a fun and relaxing weekend.  I found a little bit of time to get crafty so I have a slimline card to share with you today!

These adorable images are from the Streamside Studios Strawberry Cows clear stamp set.  I used a slimline die to cut the 3-window frame from some light green paper.  I sponged some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink and stamped the sentiment behind the window openings before adhering the frame. I colored the images with copics and ran them through mu Cut N'Scan.  I adhered all the images with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have an amazing week!

Boo!

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing a fun Halloween card featuring a new clear stamp set by Streamside Studios!  


This not-so-spooky stamp set is called Little Halloween and it's got so many cute images and sentiments.  My card is a slimline that measures 3.5" x 8.5".  I diecut a black 3-window frame to fit my card base.  I sponged white cardstock with Spun Sugar and Seedless Preserves Distess Oxide Ink.  I spattered the rectangle with both white and black acrylic paints and once dry, I adhered it behind the black frame.  


 I colored all the images with copics and fussy-cut the stamped images.  I adhered all the images with foam tape.  I heat-embossed one of the sentiments from the set and also adhered it with foam tape.
