Happy Holidays By Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello all! My card this week is a winter card- hope you enjoy.

I began the card by stamping the house and then the trees on either side. 

I used Dr.PH Martins bleed proof white for snow on everything. I used it pretty thick. I let dry overnight as I was done for the day.

Next I used the colors you see in the photo for the sky and some on the ground. I kept adding and playing until I was happy with the result.

Next I used neon acrylic paints for the holiday lights. I dabbed a tiny bit on of each color. The paint is not in the best containers so the paint started to dry and was a bit thick in some of the pots. It worked out well for the application though. I then took a fan brush and dipped in water and then into the Dr PH Martins white again and splattered it all over for the snowing look. It does dry fairly fast so then I added the smoke from the chimneys with white pan pastel. I added more snow to the trees and ground to get the look I wanted. Last, I stamped the coyote/ wolf/ dog to complete the scene. Then layered on to card stock for the finished look.

House lg.     9864

Howling coyote silhouette.     19709

Straggly pine trees.     19582

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.

Assemic Stripes 20576 

Cross eyed Fairy 9334

Other items used:

Versafine Clair in Tulip

Zig pens

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

- ZIG Pen

- handmade watercolor

- Posca white pen

- Stampendous embossing enamel

- Dylusions shimmer spray

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
