Happy Haunting

Hello crafty friends!  I hope you had a fun weekend!  I found some time to play with some older stamps from my stash and created this cute Halloween card.

These sweet bunnies are from Hello Blue Bird Designs.  I inked a panel of bristol card with distress oxide inks and splattered it with both thinned white gouache and black acrylic paint.  I die cut some grass, a tree. and bats from black card stock and adhered them to my card.  I also die cut a frame from black card stock and adhered it to my card with foam tape.

I colored the trick-or-treat bunnies with copics and used a black gel pen on their eyes.  I adhered the bunnies with foam tape and added a heat-embossed sentiment to finish my card.

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

Hugs, Anita

'Tis The Season To Be Spooky

 Hello friends!  I have another Halloween card to share with you today!

These cute images are from an older stamp set by Hello Bluebird Designs.  I used a die from my stash to cute the window frame from Halloween paper.  I inked the area behind each window opening with distress oxide inks ad splattered them with water.  Once dry, I stamped sentiments in each window.  I colored the images with copics, fussy cut them, and adhered them to my card with foam tape.  I used a white gel pen to add polka dots to the dress.
