TGIF the 13th! - by Cheetarah

Hey all, it's Cheetarah here and I have a fun mixed media postcard to share with you for today. Since it's Friday the 13th I thought I would make a Halloween version of TGIF! 

Little Nosferatu likes to unwind on friday the 13th and have brains for happy hour!

As usual a full list of stamps and materials used is at the end of this post.

 

I made this card on packaging, added other left over bits and pieces to it (I hate to waste stuff), applied gesso over it and worked with layers of distress paints. I also lightly added some texture paste over the Marbles stencil from the Crafter's Workshop to give it some "brain like mass" texture. Then stamped over it with some great mixed media and skulls stamps.

You can see the texture a lot better here. I have used distress crayons and pearl rubs in black and gold to give it shading. Nosferatu was stamped on a piece of sticker paper and "Brains fuck head" is made with two different stamps. I used letter stickers to form TGIF the 13th and lastly added some spatters in white and gold.

Hope this card made you chuckle and wishing you an awesome friday the 13th! (TGIF!)

Vintage Halloween

 

Good Morning !! Karen with you again..

 

 When I first saw this Halloween Image it screamed old vintage post card type picture to me. So I've decided to make my annual Halloween tag using it.

 

 

 Even though we don't really celebrate Halloween here in Australia, I still like to make myself a little something spooky every year.

 

 

 I started off with two tags, 1 size #10 and 1 #8.  I inked them using  Tim Holtz walnut stain Distress Ink, Flicked a bit of water on them, and got out my trusty sewing machine and stitched a border around them both.  I then stamped the #10 to make a background using :

 

Coffee Ring Stain

Fancy Spiderweb corner

1878 grunge Writing

 

 

If you have a go at doing a background like this, don't worry if it looks messy, you will end up covering it up.

 

I then started on the smaller tag:

 

I began the smaller tag with the Coffee ring stain stamp, stamped  randomly around the tag, As  wanted the smaller tag to have my main focal image , I then stamped the Kids with Giant Jack-O-Lantern and Vampires and Witches  in t the middle of the tag, and added in a bit of colour using my Tim Holtz Distress Markers. I wanted the jack-o-lantern to look like it was glowing so I gave the edges of the tag another ink, just to darken them up a bit.

 

The little Row of Jack-o-lanterns Stamp was just sitting on my desk staring at me. It's just to cute, so I decided to stamp them on a spare bit of card stock, partially fussy cut them out and add some stitching to them, to add in as a border at the bottom.

 

 

The last thing to do was to layer them all on top of each other, I used mounting tape to mount the smaller tag in the middle of the larger tag  and the row of pumpkins underneath the tag- see no more messy background :)  

 

 

 

So there you have it.. my own little piece of Halloween to sit on my desk.. I hope you have a wonderful day, and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

 

Happy Haunting! - Karen
