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.

Jellyfish by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone!

Todays project is a card that could be framed for the wall...

I started this card by spraying some salvaged patina, squeezed lemonade and stormy skies distress spray on and using a paint brush to smooth it out.

I dried it and then stamped the sea scene. I colored it with alcohol markers and prisma colored pencils. for the sand I swiped my memento dye ink pad  - desert sand across the bottom. I used alcohol markers to dot the sand. For the shadows on the sand, I used a qtip and Gray Flannel memento ink pad. dab and swipe. 

Next I stamped the jelly fish and used spray stains and colored pencils to color them.

Then I used a sparkle gel pen to line the tentacles and add highlights. I used a white gel pen to add the bubbles from plants and around jelly fish.

Last I used a scales stencil and some chalk to the add to the background here and there.

Hope you enjoy my kind of dreamy card!

The Christmas Tree by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone!!

Todays project is a tag for the holidays-

First I stamped the tree with dark moss chalk ink and then I painted it with H2o's watercolors.

Next, I spritzed the background with speckled egg spray stain.

Then I used a white acrylic marker to color in the snow on the tree to make it more white.

I stamped the candle 9 times and cut them out with a sharp detail scissors. I then painted thin glue and dipped them into clear rock candy glitter. I painted the flame with the h2o paints.

Next I used a bit of foam tape to put them on the tree. Then I used Liquid pearl and white flock to enhance the snow.

I used red glitter glue for the decorations on the tree. and made a strip of icicles for the top of the tag out of hot glue and glitter. I also used a stencil and texture paste for  falling snow on the background. Its very subtle. To finish the tag, I layered it onto a green cardstock.

And that is all! I hope you enjoyed!

Independance by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello Everyone!!

Here is my art tag project today reflecting the holiday upon us here in the US.....

I kept this tag On the simple side. To start I inked my flag stamp with two different ink pads. I wanted a grunge look for my grunge flag, so after stamping it .I spritzed the imprint with some water. 

Then I sprayed some Vintage photo distress spray around the edges of the tag .I used a paint brush to move the color around so it didn't get on my flag too much.

Then I stamped the writing in brown at two corners. I stamped the boy in tub boat and colored him in. Then fussy cut him out.

 I used double thick foam tape behind him to give extra dimension on the tag. I cut a length of ribbon for the tag and put some red and blue ink on that too. Attached it all to the tag and done!

Hope you enjoyed~
