BOOYAH (2)

I made a very simple Halloween card, with the Booyah stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

I stamped the images from Booyah, but also some from Costume Party. I colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Ghosts: C0 - C2 - 0
Pumpkins: YR04 - YR07/ G07 - G17
Bowl of candy: B12 - B14/ Y11 - Y08/ R14 - R46/ YG06 - G07/ C3 - C5
Broom: E08 - E18/ E53 - E55

I fussy cut the images. For the background, I used two Distress Oxide Inks for blending: Blueprint Sketch and Shaded Lilac.

I die cut the Peek-a-Boo Backdrop die from Knock On Wood paper. I assembled the card and stamped the sentiment. I adhered the panel onto a Canned Pumpkin cardbase.

As a finishing touch, I added some highlights to the images with a white gelly roll pen.

It was a very quick and easy card to make.

REVEAL WHEEL (7)

I designed this reveal wheel card for the Lawn Fawnatics Design Team. And this was a super fun project. In our design team, we had to make pairs of two. I teamed up with Christy. We had to pick the same Lawn Fawn products and create a card with it. We choose the You Are Sublime stamp set and the Reveal Wheel die. And this time we are not featured on the Lawn Fawnatics blog, but we have a post on the Lawn Fawn blog!!!!

I started by die cutting all the elements to create the reveal wheel. For the front panel, I wanted to do some ink blending. I used Distress Oxides: Cracked Pistachio and Salty Ocean. I applied Yeti Ink through the Rays stencil from Tim Holtz. To soften this white look, I rubbed it off with a paper towel.

I die cut two hills, with the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders. I ink blended some Antique Linnen and Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I also added some splatter, with Walnut Stain.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Submarine: R14 - R46/ C3 - C5/ C0 - C2/ YG41
Lobster: R14 - R46
Little fish: Y38 - YR07
Greenery: YG11 - YG13
Corals: YR00 - YR01 - Y02/ YG41 - G02/ R22 - R35
Hearts: R22 - R35

I fussy cut the images and assembled the card. I stamped the sentiment and added the panel onto a Chili Pepper cardbase. I stamped the little arrow next to the wheel.

HAPPY HOWL-O-WEEN, WISHING YOU A TREAT-FILLED DAY (1)

For the ones thinking it's too early for Halloween card, look away. I can't wait for the fall to start and to create more Halloween cards. I just love making these cards. And I just needed a reason to use the Happy Howloween stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

First, I die cut all the elements for the scene. I took Black Licorice cardstock to die cut from, using the Village Border die. From Sticky Note cardstock, I die cut the little lights that go behind each window ( which I hate doing, it's so tiny). I also used the Grassy Border die and the Leafy Tree Backdrop: Landscape die. I only cut off the three, not using the frame.

I ink blended the sky with Distress Oxide Inks, using Shaded Lilac and Blueprint Sketch. For the grass I used Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink. For the tree I used regular Distress Inks, being Ground Espresso and Brushed Corduroy.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markes. Here are the colors I used:
Dogs: E53 - E55 - E57
Pumpkins: YR04 - YR07/ YG13 - G17
Superhero costume: R17 - R46

Bones: E41 - E43
Bowl: BG15 - BG18

I fussy cut the images and assembled the card. I stamped the sentiment and added some hightlights and dots to the images, using a white gelly roll pen. I adhered the panel onto a Chili Pepper cardbase.

Do you still think it's too early? These images are too adorable, so I just couldn't help myself.
