Best Witches!

 Good afternoon, welcome to my final post showcasing Polkadoodles Winnie Wednesday release

Today's cards are made using the Stamp sets Best Witches Winnie Wednesday and Spooky Time

In my first card Winnie has dressed but her pet:

What I Did:
I stamped the image and colored her with alcohol markers. I then used a frame die to cut my image out,  I cut a second frame in black cardstock.
I matted an A2 card base with orange cardstock and paper from the new Boneshakin Paper pack.
I stamped my sentiment and matted this with black cardstock. Finally I added my image and adhered the black frame around her.

What I Used: 
Stamping Card; X-Press It
Alcohol Markers: Copic
Frame Die: Gina Marie
Black and Orange Cardstock: Core'Dinations Premium Heavyweight
Glue: ZipDry

My next card I used Winnie dressed as a witch and did a background for her using Spooky Time:


What I Did:
I stamped Winnie and the sentiment onto stamping card, I colored her then used my Scan N Cut to fussy cut her. For my background I used Distress Oxide inks and blended them together. I then stamped the web and spider along with some cute bats. Their eyes were lost in the background so I added these with a white gel pen. I added this to an A2 card base. I added Winnie to my card, the sentiment looks too white so I colored over this with an alcohol marker, edged it in black and adhered it in place.    

What I Used: 
              Polkadoodles - Spooky Time Clear Stamps
Stamping Card: X-Press It
Alcohol Markers: Copic
Blending card: Bristol Smooth
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide
Gel Pen: Gelly Roll
Black card: Core'Dinations Premium Heavy Weight
Glue: ZipDry

Trick or Treating and Graveyard Fun for Halloween

 Good afternoon, hope you are enjoying your weekend, we need to get out and clear the garden now we've had most of the veggies from it!

I'm continuing with showcasing the Polkadoodles Halloween new release. Today I have designed 2 cards using 2 stamp sets - Happy Halloween Winnie Wednesday and Spooky Time:

My first is a trick or treat scene:


What I Did:
I Stamped Winnie first then masked her to stamp the spooky house. I then colored the images. I made the images into a full scene by freehand adding a path, grass and a starry sky. Finally I stamped bats and the BOO sentiment.
My A7 card base was matted with orange cardstock which I stamped with the bats. I then added a strip of black cardstock and a piece of design paper.
My image was matted with black cardstock and added to the base.

What I Used:
Stamping Card: X-Press It
Alcohol Markers: Copic
White Pen for 'stars' - Uniball Signo Broad
Black and Orange Cardstock: Core'Dinations Premium
Glue: ZipDry

My second card is Winnie Wednesday in a grave yard:


What I Did:
This was a simple card, I ink blended my background using Distress Oxide inks. Once dry I then stamped the images from Spooky Time to create my scene. Winnie Wednesday was stamped and then fussy cut her. She does have pumpkins on the original stamp but I decided to use her without these. I then colored her with alcohol markers. I matte an A2 card base with orange cardstock then added my background. finally I adhered Winnie to the corner of the card. 

What I Used: 
Stamping Card: X-Press It
Alcohol Markers: Copic
Blending card - Bristol Smooth
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide
Black and Orange Cardstock: Core'Dinations Premium Heavyweight

Fall Thanks

Good morning, fall is in the air and the trees are starting to change color. This is my favorite time of the year I love the colors, the cooler weather and of course the pumpkin spice!

The SumMore Fun mood board challenge has all the colors of fall this time round, check out the mood board lower down my post.

For my card I have used the colors for my background. For the first time I have experimented with distress oxide inks and I think I like them!


I used Fossilized Amber, vintage phot and peeled paint and blended them across my card. Before I left it to dry I spritzed it with water.
Once dry I used the SumMore Fun Growing Love stamp set to stamp the branches in a random pattern across my card. I then die cut THANKS twice, gluing these on top of each other to give me dimension. I then stamped 'for helping me grow' from the same stamp set onto black card using embossing ink. This was then embossed with white glimmer powder. I matted my card base with deep red cardstock and added my design.  
I glazed my thanks die cut with magic transparent Pearl Pen and added black pearls randomly around my card.
