Best Ghoulfriends

Posted on October 8, 2015 11:02 AM by Julie Comment

The Ways to Use It Challenge (WT552) on Splitcoast today is all about cats. My Halloween card has a couple of metal confetti cats…every good witch needs a cat, right? Personally, I have never had a cat…I’ve had parrots for so long, bringing a cat in just didn’t seem like a good idea….I picture Sylvester & Tweety Bird. Eventually, the parrot is going to look a lot like lunch to the cat!

For my ghoul friends, I stamped the witch feet on the right & used the mirror image (or reflection) technique for the one on the left. After coloring both, I over stamped the one on the right w/ Versafine but used a very fine Micron pen to go over the one on the left. I accidentally dropped the dark purple Copic on the background so I just did a Pointillism technique in the area all around the witches. The hats were fussy cut and added on top of the bracket border strip along with the greeting.

Posted on October 7, 2015 12:00 AM by Julie 3 Comments

For my Halloween window card, I die cut the Cheery Lynn window out of black card stock, then used my Misti to stamp the owl & branch w/ Memento, color with Copics, then over stamp w/ Versafine. The branch was die cut w/ the matching die & the owl was fussy cut. I had an orange & purple background I made on thin water color paper using Distress Inks & the acrylic block technique & after it dried, I put it in the Misti, stamped the moon w/ Memento, then used a white Prismacolor pencil to add white to the moon & stars. The moon didn’t look as white as I wanted, so I ended up stamping it on a piece of white c/s that I had brushed on some Wink of Stella & fussy cut it to add on top. I added the greeting flag and a bat & pumpkins die cut from the Creepy Wreath set.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used. (I used the fluorescent yellow Sharpie for the eyes & feet)

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Halloween Pops set, Happy Halloween, Leaf Pops Detailed set

Aren’t these little Caroling Penguins adorable? And they were so much fun to color! After putting them in my Misti & stamping w/ Memento, I colored them then over stamped them w/ Versafine. They were die cut w/ the largest Circle Ornament die, I added a little color around the edge then attached them to the glitter circle that was die cut w/ the largest Matting Circle die. I also used the glitter card stock for the background (cut w/ the ODBD Flourished Star Pattern die), the Flourished Vine & the ornament topper & the Wishes part of the Best Wishes die. The designer paper top & bottom (from the ODBD Christmas 2014 collection) was die cut using the ODBD Leafy Edges Borders dies. Just a note here: you are now able to purchase BOTH NCC & ODBD items in one place & not have to pay 2 shipping charges! How fabulous is that?!?

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

My second card features this cute little reindeer from the Merry & Bright set. Most of the DT got a chuckle with this one…they saw him as having a snowflake necklace..to me it looked like he had a jumper w/ a snowflake on it. Either way..he’s a cutie!
I stamped & colored him as before, then over stamped & die cut w/ the largest Stitched Oval die. The tips of his antlers got a little out of the box treatment to keep from cutting them off. I also used a gold gel pen to add some sparkle to the gold beads on the image before I attached him to a larger layer I die cut w/ the Oval die. This layer & the rest of the card front were done using papers from the ODBD Christmas 2015 collection. The little white shaped pieces above & below the main image are the largest die from the Antique Labels die.

Here’s a look at the inside where I used some left over paper & stamped the sleigh (from Santa’s Sleigh) in pear tart. Below it are the Copics I used.
