Flying by....

 Hello! Fall has finally arrived I just wish someone would tell the weather! We still have above normal temperatures

My card today is showcasing Stamper's Delights Chibi Agnes 3. Halloween is just around the corner and this image is great for your crafts.


Isn't she a cutie? I would love hair like this - maybe one day! 
I colored her with my Copic markers adding some finalizer to give texture to her hair and broomstick.
Using a circle die I then cut my stamping card into a circle with a flat side.
My card base is an A2 size matted with black card and some digital spotty paper.
I inked the edge of Agnes's circle with distress ink and adhered in place lining up the flat edge with the edge of the design paper.
Boo! and a bat die cut just finished the design.

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

October brings witches and bats......

Good morning, October is upon us and it is still warm here! The leaves in the woods at the back of our yard are just starting to change color.
It's new release time over at So Suzy stamps and what better way to welcome October than with Halloween images! Yes this month's challenge is going to be Halloween.


I have used the Haunted house stamp. I stamped it onto white card stock then stamped it again onto a post-it note. I care fully cut around the stamped post-it and used this as a mask to cover the image on my card. I then stamped the moon using a clarity stamp. again I masked the moon off .
Using a brayer I then colored the sky making clouds around the moon. I lifted my masks and colored the moon in pale yellow and used a brighter yellow for the house windows.
This month brings a new product to the So Suzy Store she will be stocking Unique Laser designs chip board shapes. These are what I have used for my witch and bats. I colored all 3 black so they look like shadows in the night sky.
I matted the image onto black and navy blue card before attaching it to a white card blank.
