Happy Halloween!!!!

Hi Everyone,

I finished another card for one of my daughter's teachers and thought oh dear Halloween is tomorrow...better get it posted.  Soooo this will be a quick little post hopefully you enjoy it even if it provides inspiration for one of your cards next year. 

This adorable little image is from Whimsy a Sylvia Zet image called Batty Boo.  I still think Hazel is my favourite but I do love these little bats.  I had originally thought this was going to be for one of Emilee's male teachers but at the last minute she changed her mind and it's going to a female teacher.  Good for me because I got to rethink the design just a tiny bit and add some Gumdrops and ribbon...and you all know how I love those things.

Happy Halloween & thanks for stoppin' by!

Cheers,

 

It's time for some Halloween card!!

Hi Everyone,

I have wanted to colour this lovely image from Whimsy called Hazel since it came out last year...finally I have done it!  This card is a 6 x 8 one of the largest cards I have made but I needed it to be large so I could incorporate the dies I just had to have as part of the design.  I have also used 2 High Hopes images - Batty Boo & Happy Halloween.  I will use these again in another card I'm working on.  I popped everything up on foam dimensionals.  This card is for my daughter's math teacher so I hope she likes it. 

It's really hard to tell from the picture but I covered the tree, bats, fence and a few other parts with a new product we just go in called Wink Of Stella.  If it happens to sell out fear not there is more on the way!  I used a clear & silver for this card, there is also gold in the package which I will reserve for another card.  The pumpkins were made from an oval punch and coloured with Copic's.

Copic's:  YR21, V20, C5, C3, N3, R20, N10, YG25, E11, YR14, C1, YR18, YR23, N5, V22, YR16, N8, YG23, E000, YR24, V25, YG21, E00

Misc:  Batty Border 98694, Grand Willow Tree 98695, Weathered Fence 98644, Bo Bunny Fright Delight 6 x 6 Pad, Your Next Stamp Gumdrops Black, Wink of Stella, Bazzill Parakeet & Jubilee 

Stamps:  Hazel Whimsy, Batty Boo High Hopes, Happy Halloween High Hopes

Thanks for stoppin' by, have a wonderful day!!

Here comes the Cool Kid!!

Today I have Cool Kid by Kenny K (from Whimsy Stamps).  I am on a little mission this year to create more masculine themed cards which I always seem to struggle with.  The image on this card is cut out an instead of using foam dimensionals to pop him up I used a Wobble.  So he has some action going on which I thought perfectly suited the fact that he seems to be movin' to the groove with his Ipod.

The sentiments are computer generated and punched out with a scallop punch.  I have coloured with Copic's and done some shading with Prisma pencils.

Copics:  E000, E00, E21, E50, E31, E33, Y32, Y35, Y38, B21, B23, B24, G82, G85, N2, N5, N1

Prisma:  Blush Pink, Dark Green, Indigo Blue, Light Umber, Pumpkin Orange

Cheers Dude!!

Well this is not the post I had ready for you today but we are going with it.  My son turns 23 on Tuesday, Jan. 8th....lucky kid was born on Elvis Presley's birthday...made my Mom a very happy lady since she is an Elvis fanatic.  I thought it would be a good idea to get this card up sooner rather than later.  Oh in my eyes the Cheers Dude (Kenny K image from Whimsy) guy is holding a glass of Root Beer, which for fun I will give my son a can taped to his present LOL!  I know a lot of us find guys cards a challenge...me included.  This paper is actually from Bo Bunny's Detour Collection & I thought the colours were just perfect so I coloured the image to match the papers.  There is no Prisma shading on this one, it's all Copic.  The sentiment is also from Whimsy and it's called Retro Bottle Caps.  The froth on the top of the Root Beer is Liquid Applique.  I typically let my Liquid Applique dry for 24 hours before I puff it up with my heat tool but since I was in a rush to get this one done I went for it.  If you leave it to dry you get a much smoother puff.

Copics:  E000, E00, E21, E33, E37, C0, C1, C2, C3, C5, C7, C9, E43, E44, E47, R37, R39, R89, B95, B97, B99
