Autumn Colors

Posted on October 30, 2015 10:47 AM by Julie Comment

Three wonderful challenges today on Splitcoast & I was able to combine them! The F4A297 (fall colors), the MIX144 (fall colors), and HYCCT1530TEAM (turning you loose). The first 2 are pretty easy to see..for the MIX I have a combo of Distress ink/watercolor in my background, Copics & Versafine ink on the image. Hope that’s enough! For the HYCCT, I used the Wrinkle Free Distress tutorial. I don’t think I’ve ever done it before & I added another wrinkle because the bg is second generation. I had a combo of Distress inks & a little water color on my craft sheet & when I lifted the w/c paper up, it had way too much on it so I pressed another piece of w/c paper to the w/c sheet I just lifted to soak up the excess.

After I dried the bg, I used a Sizzix die on opposite corners & attached it to a dk green bg. The image was stamped w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics then over stamped w/ Versafine. I used a pierced square die & also did a little out of the box on the top of the image. The leaf pile was fussy cut & added on top.

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

Only Have Eyes

Posted on October 19, 2015 11:10 AM by Julie Comment

Today’s Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS347) is a Halloween picture for inspiration…hence the big ol’ neon green eyeballs on my card. Isn’t it great to have a card that looks back at you, lol? It seemed the perfect time to bring out my neglected fluorescent markers & neon ink. If you can’t use ’em on Halloween, then when? I really had fun using them to color all the bottles of potions & poisons. Yep…that’s a tasty looking bunch!

After I colored them, I masked a few of them & added the bubbles. After die cutting the jar out of the front, I die cut a top out of metallic silver & added just a little coloring to the jar part of the cut out. I put a piece of acetate w/ some foam tape around it, behind the cut out & carefully placed some googlie eyes before sticking it down.

I came across a piece from the center of some die cut & it just looked like it could be the background for the eyes. So I stamped the eyeball twice w/ neon green ink, added a bit of neon shading & stamped the greeting on top. The spider webs were stamped once w/ the neon ink and again w/ the black then a couple of punched spiders added to finish. Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Spooky Halloween Brew

Posted on October 9, 2015 10:22 AM by Julie 1 Comment

The Free for All Challenge (F4A294) today is to use at least 2 shades of purple. Purple is one of my favorite colors to use for Halloween.

For my spooky card, I started with an embossing folder I just bought & couldn’t wait to give it a test drive. Don’t know if you’ve noticed, but these ef’s made by Sizzix just seem to emboss way deeper than a lot of other brands. So I had a piece of lavender card stock & I inked up the embossing folder w/ some dark purple pigment ink, put my c/s in & embossed it. Then I took it out, sprinkled it with some sparkly dark purple embossing powder & heat embossed it (aka embossed embossing ). Wish you could see it..it is really sparkly!

The potions were stamped, colored with Copics & I fussy cut around the tops before adding a bright orange strip behind them. The ghost & moon were fussy cut & the greeting was split in two…the first line was fussy cut & added below the the potions & the second line was die cut & added higher up.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used. The embossed spider down the left is one of the border folders that came w/ the one I used on the front.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the DRS Thursday Challenge…this week, make a Spooky or Cutesy Halloween card.
