Wicked Halloween

I felt like water coloring after a busy day at work, calms me down!  The little girl image was water colored using a blender pen.  Once she was colored I cut out a 2 inch circle for the moon and attached it with some temporary adhesive.  I also stamped the girl image and cut her out to cover her up while I was sponging.  The first layer is Daffodil Delight, then Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant and Certainly Celery for the grass.  The last color was sponged in Early Espresso.  This was all done with sponge daubers as I feel I have a little more control with them.  The moon was lightly sponged with Daffodil Delight.  Stamped the spider web with Sahara Sand, sentiment in Black Stazon and sponged the edge with Elegant Eggplant, added a layer of Pumpkin Pie and popped that up on a dimensional.

Spooky Halloween

I love to make Halloween cards and the new stamp sets were calling my name!  Greeting Card Kids & Wicked Cool.  The bats in Wicked Cool remind me of the Scooby Doo Cartoon, one of my favorites as a child.  I started with Whisper White Cardstock and stamped the girl with Black Stazon.  Next I watercolored the image (light on the water since this is Whisper White) with my SU Classic Inks.  I then took a Versamark Pen and colored over the image and then applied Clear Embossing powder and heated.  I punched out a 1 3/4" Circle and applied Dotto adhesive to the back and then brayered the whole card in Daffodil Delight.  Using sponge daubers I then sponged on the Wild Wasibi for the grass, Pumpkin Pie was next around the whole card, then Crushed Concord and some Early Espresso.  I removed the Moon mask and sponged the moon lightly with Daffodil Delight, to give it a little depth I sponged a little darker in some spots.  Then stamped the bats flying in the moon.  The Scallop Oval around my sentiment was punched then I put Dotto on a strip of paper and put the Oval back into the punch at different angles to get the jagged edges.  The Sentiment is done with Heat & Stick powder and Black Glitter.

Happy Halloween Watercoloring

Hello Everyone!

Lovely day in Central Illinois, the sun is shining today!  The last two days we had constant rain and gloomy, yuck!  This is my favorite technique, watercoloring with dye ink.  It's like using Copics but without the expense.  I smooch the ink onto the top lid of my SU ink pad add a little water and I can control the intensity!  A little sponging around the edges and some extra leaves for dimension. 
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by :-)

Halloween "Side Step" Card

I found this wonderful tutorial on my Fabulous Upline's Blog Julie Davison for the "Side Step" Card.

I love the House of Haunts Stamp Set and thought it would look awesome on the Side Step.

The House and the Owl in the tree were stamped with Versamark added Black Embossing Powder and heated.  On the Owl I used a 1" Circle punch on a post it note to make a mask for the moon. 

I used a 1 3/8 inch mask for the moon on the house.  I then brayered both with Summer Sun. 

Leaving the mask on the Owl I sponged around the edges first with Pumpkin Pie (used Sponge Daubers),

Creamy Carmel.  Did the same with the House but added Chocolate Chip as my last layer.  Once

everything was sponged I removed the post-it notes and layered onto Only Orange Cardstock.

Pumpkins are stamped with Only Orange onto Summer Sun cardstock.  Happy Halloween was

stamped with Versamark and White Embossing Powder.  The finishing touch is the Spider from

Autumn Apparitions.  Stamped in Versamark and Black EP then punched out with the 1/2" circle

punch and applied to a Build-A-Brad.  I really had fun making this card!

House of Haunts - #2

Halloween is so much fun and I just wanted to try out my Sizzix Big Shot using the Top Note die. I cut out two top notes, one in whisper white and the other in wild wasabi ( I'm trying to use up my old "In Colors"). I trimmed around the whisper white so I would have a wild wasabi border. Stamped house & sentiment with versamark and used black embossing powder. I used markers on the windows and the moon.

Supplies: Black, Wild Wasabi, & Whisper White cardstock. Ghostly Greetings DSP. Versamark ink, Stampin' Write Markers - Summer Sun & Pumpkin Pie. Wild Wasabi ribbon and Earth Elements buttons. Used a Heat Tool, Stampin' buddy, & dimensionals.

House of Haunts

This was a fun card to make! Started with Whisper White and brayered on Summer Sun, next a light coat of Pumpkin Pie. Cut a circle with the coluzzle on a post-it note so it would hold, then brayered two more layers of pumpkin pie. Sponged Bravo Burgandy around the edges. Used stamp-a-ma-jig to get the tree where I wanted it and used black embossing powder. The paper was pretty curly by then so I adhered it to some bravo burgandy. The jagged edges on the DSP was done by using the scallop edge punch and going back and cutting uneven.

Supplies: Black, Whisper White, & Bravo Burgandy Cardstock. Craft White, Versamark, Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie & Bravo Burgandy ink.
Ghostly Greetings DSP, Scallop edge punch, black emboss powder, heat tool, stamp-a-ma-jig, brayer and a sponge.
