Bratty Little Witch (Part 2) - Crafty Bloggers Network.

Hi Everyone

As promised I am here with Part 2 of my 'Bratty Little Witch' (image from Rick St Dennis) - the project that I made for CBN.  I choose to use just part of this image because it made me chuckle (and like I said last week I have a bit of a warped sense of humor!)

This is actually a recycled gift bag from a store - I just love it when I can reused bags like this.  I coloured the image as always with ProMarkers, added the tag (stamp from $1.00 bin at M's) and mounted it on some Halloween paper to match the card from last week.  Here are some close ups.

Oh that poor cat!  Here is a look at the two projects together.

Hop on over to CBN and see what the rest of the DT have been up to, while you are there I hope you will join in with the challenge and may be win some images of your own.

Until next time.

Bratty Little Witch (Part 1) - Crafty Bloggers Network

Hi Everyone

Today I have at DT project for Crafty Bloggers Network (CBN) - the image is called 'Bratty Little Witch' by Rick St Dennis.  I have a bit of a warped sense of humor (which you will see with my next week's project that goes along with this card.)

As usual I coloured my image with ProMarkers, and used some Halloween scrap paper from my stash.  The sentiment is from a rubber stamp that I have had for ages, I think from the $1.00 bin at M's, and the little spider is from a Cameo file with just the addition of some googly eyes.

I finished off the project with a matching envelope (because I have too many odd pieces of Halloween paper!)

I hope you will join us for the challenge over at CBN, and don't forget to check back next week for the 2nd part of this project.

See you soon.

Halloween Cutie Card

Hi Everyone.  Today I am guest designer over at The Bugbytes, and thought that it would be a great opportunity to make a Halloween card.

I have had this cute little image for ages, and I just love her.  The image is called 'Perfect Poison' and is available at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  She is coloured with Letraset ProMarkers, and the colours used are as follows:

Blush, Soft Peach (skin)
Vanilla, Sandstone, Pale Yellow & Mustard (hair)
Purple & Apple (clothes)
Ice Grey 1 - 5 (shadows and bottle)

The great thing about making this card is that everything came from my stash (love it when that happens).  The wording strip on the side comes from a DCWV stack from a couple of years ago, I also used a piece to decorate the inside.

Here is a closer look at some of the details.

The spiders web was cut with my Cameo using a file from the Silhouette online store, the background paper was run through an embossing folder from Hobby Lobby, and the purple gems are supposed to be for decorating cell phones - found them on clearance in the dollar store.

I made the card 5" x 5" as I have some vellum envelopes that are about this size.  The trouble with using vellum for me is that I don't always want the recipient to see what is inside before they open the envelope.  So I used another piece of paper from the same stack to combat this.  I quite often find from some DCWV stacks that I have papers left with the larger images on that I don't always know what to do with - I have discovered that they are great for the inside of cards, or to line envelopes like this.

Plenty of space on this to put an address label and stamp without being too distracting for the mailman.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Scary Sweet Shops

Hi Everyone

Today Kelleigh over at The Digi Chick has a new file available called "Soap Box."  When I saw it I started to think of how cute it would look as a Sweet Shop with squares cut in for windows so you could see the candy inside.  Here is what I did.

The papers that I used are from a very old DCWV Halloween stack, with some glitter paper (Target $1.00) and some spooky shapes from the online silhouette store.

As I said the files do not come with the windows cut in them, but they are very easy to add with the Silhouette Design Studio (I am already thinking ahead to cutting out hearts for Valentines Day.)

To make it a little more fun the ghost is on an action wobble spring (haven't played with those in ages - so much fun!)

Love the cat and his scary green eyes.

And lastly this one...(the bat is also on an action wobble spring.)

All the lettering was cut out of some scraps of black vinyl using my Silhouette Cameo, the font used is 'Harry Potter'.  Other items used: action wobble springs, googly eyes, acetate (for windows) and ribbon (Target $1.00 section).

Check out details for an online workshop with Kelleigh here, this will be taking place on October 21st.

Thanks for stopping by today.
