Goth girl summer by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone!!

Hope you are able to keep yourself and and fur kids cool these days!

Well all the Halloween stuff is in stores now so you know where my brain is....Enjoy the card...

I stamped the girl. And then the wings on a separate card to be cut out. I colored the girl using  a white pastel pencil for her skin, adding grey pastel pencil on her check for some goth blush, and distress spray stain for her suit.

Next I painted the moon and then the sky with distress spray stains. I then Stamped the hanging bats across the top of card. I used a white gel pen on the eyes. Then I stamped the flying bat and colored that in and painted the girls wings as well.

I used black pan pastel and a brush for the black around the edges of the card and stamped the flock of bats flying around.

Then I made two slices in her back with a craft knife to slide the wings into. I taped them on the back side of card so they stay put. Then I went to my computer and printed out the words on transparency and cut it down, I used some clear tape to stick it on the card. 

For the last thing, I used some sparkly paint to line her wings, suit bottoms and top to give a bit of shine. Of coarse it doesn't show well on camera.

Then I layered the piece onto a matt black card stock, fluffed her wings and that is it! I hope you enjoyed my project today.

Suitcase girl by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello all- hope you're not melting and have some place cool- With all the Halloween in stores now that's where my mind is so here is an art tag reflecting that. Enjoy.

For this tag, I started by spraying distress spray stains on the tag. I dried it then put some water drops on it to take off some of the ink. I dabbed with a paper towel. once dry, I used texture paste and a stencil to do the raised background of skull and crossbones. 

While that dried, I stamped and cut out and painted the girl in the suitcase. I used foam tape on the back of the girl  for dimension.  I put her on the tag and then fond the words from a Tim Holtz sticker book Halloween. 

I used ATG tape for the word stickers as the heavy texture of the background was too much for the adhesive that comes on the stickers. needed something stronger.

Fun tag to do and really getting me in the mood for fall. 

or at least less hot weather. Stay cool, Stay safe, and don't forget to put water out for all the animals and insects.
