Trick or Treat!

 Good afternoon! We are tucked up in the Tennessee Smokey Mountains for a little break just relaxing and having fun.

My post today is more inspiration using 2 sets the Spooky Nights new release from Crescent Creations. Happy Halloween and Trick or Treat.

Because these are PNG filled with white they are easy to scene build. I started with the landscape from Happy Halloween and placed 2 of the Trick or Treat characters behind it. Everything was resized and I added the sentiment before printing onto Stamping cardstock.

The scene was colored with Copic markers and the background inked with distress ink.

Black glaze pen was added to the "cat" noses and the letters of the sentiment, this makes them a darker black and gives them a shine.

So as not to take away from the scene I just added the image onto an A7 black card base.

Crescent Creations not only sell their own digital products but also sell a whole collection of other products.

Cats and Pumpkins

Good afternoon, the temperatures fell this afternoon, it was so nice to have the doors open and air blowing through the house. Fall is finally arriving I just hope that we have seen the end of the high temps.

Along with Fall comes Halloween and today's card is such a cute Halloween scene:

Halloween Cats is a digi stamp from Lili Of The Valley. This was my second attempt at coloring the image. My cats on the first one were a touch too dark and you couldn't quite make out their features. 

I colored the image with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils. I followed Mindy Baxter's tutorial for creating a Halloween background which I think turned out well and really shows off the characters. 

The image is actually framed so I colored this in black rather than adding a mat layer to it.

 I made a 5 x 7 inch card base and matted this with orange and black card. The design paper is a free digital paper which I felt coordinated well. I stamped my Trick or Treat Sentiment on orange card and matted this with black. After arranging my image and sentiment I placed black pearls to balance out the design.

Lili of The Valley used to be my favorite stamp company when I lived in the UK as we lived in the same town as their store I was a frequent customer. I hadn't bought many stamps from them since moving to USA but now they do digital stamps and I don't have to wait for them to be shipped that has changed 😁
