FAIRY ON THE CHRISTMAS TREE - by Fran Chalmers

Hi everyone!  

I've made a Christmassy themed card for you today...

 I made the background by stamping the Assemic Stripes stamp with Versafine Clair in Tulip.

I then stamped the main image on thick paper and coloured it in, and fussy cut it out.

I was going to print the sentiment but my printer wouldn't work, so I hand wrote the sentiment on card and cut it out. I edged it with black Sharpie pen.

Stamps Used:

Assemic Stripes 20576 

Cross eyed Fairy 9334

Other items used:

Versafine Clair in Tulip

Zig pens

Black fine liner

Black card to matt and layer

Gold glitter pen

ATC by Cathy N

 Good evening, Cathy here with an ATC. I haven't made one of these in a while. It was quite fun.

                                                                      18984 Group of girls

It was very fast and easy. I Started by making the background with some blue distress ink. I then stamped Group of girls in the middle. 

I edged it with the same blue ink. I then layered on gray cardstock and added a banner and a wooden snowflake.

Stay creepy by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi witches & wizzards ❤👻

 

 Are you looking forward to tomorrow night?

 As a little warm-up for tomorrow, here's this card from me today.

some Close-ups:

 And that's how I made it:

1.) In the first four steps, I stamped my image using masks. I used VersaFine Clair ink for stamping. I started with the top image and then worked my way down.

2.) I used a Micron pen to trace over all the areas that weren't stamped due to the masking. Now I'm creating a border so the card doesn't look so empty.

 

 

 3.) When I finish my drawing, I first color the outline with a ZIG pen. Then I color the rest with my handmade watercolors. For the fly agaric spots, I used embossing enamel and added each dot individually. You've already seen the final result above.

 

All stamps, I used:

- Small striped witch hat

- Mushroom

- Raven

- Small mushroom

- Mushroom

- Stay creepy

 

other supplies:

- Watercolor paper (Canson)

- Cardstock

- VersaFine Clair

- Micron Pen

SCRIBBLE THAT SHIT OUT - by Fran Chalmers

 Hi everyone!

Today I have made a postcard for you, which I hope you like!

I started with a piece of card that I had in my stash, which was made on a gel press.

I added some interest by adding some background stamps, using Elements ink in Della Blue and Versafine Clair ink in Verdant.

I stamped my main image onto the card, and then onto some thick paper.  I coloured it and cut out, sticking it on top of the stamped image.

I added my sentiments, and used a fine liner to frame them.  I then added some more background with crosses to fill in the spaces that needed something. I framed the whole card with a black fine liner.

Stamps Used:

Banksy Salvador Dali street artist

Scibble that Shit Out 20468

Banksy Wasn't Here 20653

                                                                 19697 pentagram

I started making a film strip from a die cut. I cut out again in cream cardstock so I could use it for the middle. I colored it with distress inks, and I stamped plague doctor and grunge writing.

To make the card base I used the same colors of distress inks and I stamped witch hazel,  glycerine label   , mercurial ointment, small spider web, and pentagram.

Next, I glued the film strip down on the front of the card.

I stamped the witches broom on a separate piece of paper and colored it with copic markers and cut it out. I added some Halloween ephemera.

 

A haunting we will go By. Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello all! 

Halloween is next week and so I made a card for my favorite holiday- enjoy🎃

To start my card, I stamped all the houses first. Then the graves, fence, then kids and last I stamped the moon and clouds, and last was bats.

I colored in the windows and the jack-o’-lantern  and then I started on the background.

I worked the back ground until I was happy. Then I let that dry. I came back later and worked on the houses. I felt the houses needed some trees between them so I went back and stamped the trees. I added in the creepy fog and the very last thing was to stamp the words. It was a lot of work but I loved it. I think it coveys Halloween night pretty well.
