One last Halloween card!

 Yep.  I did it.  I managed to get one more Halloween card done.  Woot!  My card today features a brand new digital stamp from 2 Cute Ink called Witchy Fishy.  It is brand new in the Etsy Store today.  Head HERE to check it out.



Isn't he just the cutest?  I colored the entire scene using Copic markers.  The papers are from an older Doodlebug paper pad called Boos & Brews.  I also added some matte Doodlebug sprinkles.  I used glossy accents on the glasses and the bubbles.  And there is a wash of metallic gold paint over the moon.  I hope you love this little fishy as much as I do!




Thanks for visiting!

Wicked Good Day

 Hey friends.  I'm here to show off one more Halloween card before the sweet day arrives!  I'm using the Wicked Good Day digital stamp set from Polka Dot Orchard.  You can find it right HERE in the PDO store.


I am also using the fabulous Tangled Web slimline stencil.  Which can be found HERE.

Let's take a look at my card!


I'm in love!  The sparkle on this card is absolutely stunning!  It's why I needed to take my picture outside so you could see all that goodness.

I used the Tangled Web slimline stencil and Deco Foil Transfer Gel duo.  I used a craft spatula to apply the gel through the stencil onto a piece of cardstock.  Once the gel was dry I added the gold foil on top and ran it through my die cut machine.  The die cut machine is just to add pressure so that the foil adheres to the gel.  Then you peel away the foil for the fabulous reveal!  I then cut the layer with a slimline die from Honey Bee Stamps.

How about that fabulous witch?  I printed the witch and the sentiment out onto Copic friendly white cardstock.  I just added touchs of the color to the witch.  I didn't want her to compete with the background and I think she looks more striking this way.

For the slimline card base, I cut a piece of black cardstock to 7 1/2" x 8 3/4" and folded it in half.  I grabbed a gold shimmer spray and generously spritzed the black paper.  I also sprayed the sentiment strip.  While it was drying, I cut a strip of black cardstock to 1" x 8 1/2".  I used a slimline stitched scallop edge die from The Ton Stamps to cut just the top edge.

The rest was pretty easy.  I adhered the web layer to the black/gold card base.  I glued the black strip on top of the web layer.  Added a bit of foam to the back of the witch and put her in place.  Glued the sentiment strip on the black strip and added some gold jewels.  That's it!


All the sparkle!


As an extra bonus, this set plus all other Halloween and Fall sets are still on sale at 31% off.  Hurry!  The sale is ending soon!

Toodles!

Slimline Kitty

 Welcome back to my blog!  I hope you aren't tired of my slimline cards yet because I've got another one today.  I recently discovered an outstanding release of slimline stencils from Stamplorations. They have an impressive collection of 36 different slimline stencils.  Just...Wow!  I, of course, had to own some of these bad boys.  The card I created today uses the Kitty and Wavy Dots stencils.



Isn't it just lovely???  I was having so much fun I forgot to take step photos along the way!

I started with a white piece of cardstock.  I taped the Wavy Dots stencil to the cardstock and got out the Fall Harvest mini ink cube set from Altenew.  I started with the lightest color at the top and worked my way down to the darkest color at the bottom.  I removed the Wavy Dots stencil and taped down the Kitty stencil.  

I grabbed a flat back craft spatula and Deco Foil Glazed Pewter Metallix gel.  I spread the gel out until I had a fairly even distribution.  I carefully peeled off the stencil.  I cleaned off the stencil and the spatula while I set the piece aside to dry for a bit.

I created a card base by cutting a piece of mustard colored cardstock to 7 1/2" x 8 3/4".  When you fold it in half you get a card measuring 8 3/4" x 3 3/4".  I cut of a piece of dark gray cardstock using the largest die from Trinity Stamps Slimline Scalloped die set.  I glued it to the mustard card base and then added the cat stenciled layer.

Now I just needed a sentiment.  I cut the word 'Bestie" out two times from the same dark gray cardstock.  I used the PinkFresh Studios Phrase Builder: hello set.  I cut the shadow layer out of white cardstock and glued them all together.  To add a bit of bling I went over the gray with a Nuvo shimmer marker.  I stamped the word hey on a white piece of cardstock.  I trimmed it down and cut it at an angle.  Then I added a piece of foam on the back and added it to the card.

For the final bit of bling I added some flat backed gold gems.  There you have it!


I'm linking my card up to enter the STAMPlorations Stencil challenge.




As always, I appreciate you stopping by!
