KISSING SKELETONS AT HALLOWEEN by Fran Chalmers

Hi everyone!

Today I have made a Halloween tag! We don't really celebrate Halloween here much, but I love these two kissing skellies! 

First of all I cut my tag and then used inks and brushos on a gel plate to make the background.

I then stamped the outside edges in purple, and used a background stamp for some texture

I added some dripping blood at the top of the tag and embossed it

I stamped the skellies and used a white gel pen to emphasise the bones.  I used a stamping platform to make sure the image was black enough.

I coloured in some of the dots round the edge of the tab, and then blended purple and black ink round the edges.

I used washi tape to ground the skellies and lastly splattered orange posca pen onto the tag, and lastly added some ribbons.

Stamps Used:

Kissing Skeletons 19727

Punchinella Sequin Waste Border 20161

Blood Dripping 18961

Doodle Dots 19827

Other Items Used:

Gel Press

Brushos in Orange and Purple

Tired of trying to cram her sparkly star shaped self ..... ► Majo

                                                           Hello, my friends,

today I show you the cover I made for my “daily little book”. It measures approx. 8 x 6” and I use it to jot down information I get on the cats I accompany during their treatment.

 

I started by applying ink directly with the inkpad and added the “wall” with a stencil in the same color.

 After stamping the lovely flowers, I added ink, again in the same color to the leaves. I added the doodle dots randomly. The sentiment is one of my favs, if shows my attitude, not always, but sometimes it reminds me to change directions.

 

Have fun. 

I let you read the sentiment here:

Tired of trying to cram her sparkly star shaped self into society‘s beige square holes, she chose to embrace her ridiculous awesomeness and shine like the freaking supernova she was meant to be.

  I used:

 Doodle Flowers

Sentiment

Doodle Dots

 Happy Weekend, find time to craft and enjoy the autumn colors.

Luv ya ♥

 

The Witch by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello Everyone! 

Today I did a post card for the blog project, hope you enjoy.

For this card, I started by spraying the card with Squeezed Lemonade distress spray over most of the card. I added some mustard seed around where I would place the moon. I then laid my solid moon mask on the card. Then at the bottom I sprayed blues and purples. 

The very wet inks spread into each other giving a creepy vibe. I dried the card with my heat tool  then put the other part of the moon mask onto the moon. I sprayed some antique linen, dried that ,put mask back on and swiped some very light black ink over it to get more detail.

at this point, I stamped just the top of the house and the tree stamp twice. Then I stamped the bats three times and finally the blowing leaves twice leaving the center open for my witch.

I stamped the witch and fussy cut her out and then painted her with the spray inks and a brush.

I also made a scrap of fabric to put on her just for more interest. I used two layers of foam tape on her so she stands out nicely off the card.

And that is all! 

Hope you enjoyed!

I REMEMBER....by Fran Chalmers

 Hi everyone!

Today I have made a postcard.  It's rather topical at the moment as the Councils round here seem to be building and building and all the green space is disappearing!

First of all I made the background using the brick wall stamp and a stencil of buildings from my stash.  I coloured the wall with pencils, and used Distress Ink on the stencil.

I coloured the buildings in a lighter shade of the same distress ink, and also added sky with another stencil from my stash.

I replaced the stencil and used modelling paste to raise up parts of the stencil, and left it to dry overnight.

I highlighted the windows with a fine black pen and a white pen.

I then stamped the boy onto thick paper and coloured him in with copic pens, and cut him out. I put him on sticky pads on the card to  make him stand out more.

I added the sentiment and went round the edge of the card with distress ink in Black Soot.

Stamps Used:

I remember when all this was trees 20648

Banksy Boy catching snowflakes 20662

Brick background 19077

Other items used:

Building stencil

Sky stencil

Distress inks in Tumbled Glass, Hickory Smoke, Black Soot

Polychromos pencils

Copic pens

White gel pen

Black fine liner

See you next time!
