Enjoy today

 Hi everyone,

Fall is right around the corner. The leaves are changing, the air is getting cooler and pumpkins are everywhere, including on my card.

I started by embossing my background with a Foliage embossing folder. I then sprayed it with Distress Mica stain sprays.

The pumpkins were die cut from several different colours of card stock and inked with Distress inks

I added faux grass to the bottom of my card and an Idea-ology sentiment inked with a Distress crayon. A little Statue foundry wax was added here and there to my card.

Well that’s it for my card today and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Supplies:

Tim Holtz Pumpkin Duo Colorize die set

Feeling wicked

 Hi everyone,

As you can see I am still on the Halloween theme. Just can’t get enough. 

I started by creating my background with the Moon mask and Villainous Potion and Black Soot Distress spray stains. The moon middle was inked with Distress ink.

When I was finished the background I added some black stitching around the edges.

The witch was die cut from black foam so I could have some dimension. I die cut the cat from a piece of shrink plastic and added alcohol ink for the colour. 

I die cut the sentiment from black card stock and added a piece of white card stock behind which was sprayed with Iron gate Mica spray.stain.

I inked the edges of a white panel with gold metallic rub on and layered that onto a black panel.

Well that completes my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻🎃

 Hi everyone,

The butterfly was die cut and then also sprayed with the Mica sprays.

I added some foliage to the bottom of my tag, a pice of orange sheer ribbon attached at the top with an Idea-ology loop pin.

Something Wicked

 Hi everyone,

After watching Tim Holtz’ live last weekend I got to play with the Moon Mask stencils and some Distress spray  inks.

I started with a Distress #8 tag and using 2 Distress sprays and the Moon Mask I created this tag. It was pretty quick and simple but it does take a bit of practice for me with the ink spraying. The bats are from the new Tim Holtz / Stamper’s Anonymous The Scarecrow stamp set.

I also used a few sprays of the new Decayed Distress Mica Stain. It is such a great colour.

The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I used my finger to add some metallic colour to the edges.

I used some gold metallic card stock and an Impresslits folder for the edging under the sentiment. I die cut 31 from black foam and added some Glossy accents over top.

Well that’s it for this quick tag and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Mr. Scarecrow

 Hi everyone,

I seem to be stuck on Halloween and Fall themed cards and colours. Today’s card is no exception. I used the new Tim Holtz The Scarecrow stamp set for the background and image.

I started with a piece of Kraft card stock and stamped the corn with dark brown ink and the moon with black ink.

I stamped and coloured the scarecrow with Distress crayons. The pumpkin was die cut and inked with Distress inks.

I added some Distress spray stain to the background and stamped the sentiment also in dark brow ink.

To the top left corner I added some translucent crackle distress paste.

I added a couple of tears to my card and some google eyes for my scarecrow and that’s it for this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Hi everyone,

It seems that I can’t get enough of Tim Holtz / Sizzix dies for Halloween.  I used. Few different die sets for this card but I especially love the witch from the Toil & Trouble set. 

I started by creating my background by ink blending 3 different colours of Distress inks over my panel. I then added my stencil and added clear embossing paste over top of the stencil. When that was dry When I lightly blended Gathered Twigs Distress ink over top to darken the lines left behind from the stencil.

The gate was die cut from black and purple card stock to which I added Distress glitter here and there on the gates to add a little metallic looking sparkle.

The spider web was die cut from silver metallic paper. To the bones I added a little Distress Rock candy glitter. I added a little alcohol ink to a piece of acetate which was glued behind the cauldron.

The sentiment is from Idea-ology and mounted to black card stock and distressed with Distress ink and a few ink splatters.

I added a couple of shiny black bats and that completes my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Trick or treat

Hi everyone,

I just received some of the new Tim Holtz Halloween products and couldn’t wait to use the new Mica Spray stains.

I started by creating my background on a piece of orange card stock to which I added the stencil background with Translucent crackle paste.

When that was dry I sprayed it with some Black Soot spray and blended in with a little water. That way some of the ink was blended into the pumpkin veins if that’s what you call them

Next I die cut the Halloween figures with white card stock and added my and sprayed on some Mica spray colours.

When dry I stamped the piece with the Bubbles stamp and some black ink.

I sprayed another piece of card stock with the sprays and die cut the sentiment. I die cut the sentiment again this time with black card stock, cut it to size and then inlaid the letters back into the empty spots.

I adhered both the sentiment and the Halloween figures directly to my card base. The card panel was also distressed on the edges.

I added some black ink to my card and embossed with clear embossing powder.

I die cut a couple of bats and added them to my card.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻
