Zombie Bloom Girl Gardenia!

 

Hi there crafty peeps!

 

It's my turn to post on the Bloom Girls Design Team Blog. Since we have a gorgeous color combo/inspiration board I thought I'd make a Halloween Card. I used the Gardenia Bloom Girl Stamp. I wanted to make her look like a vampire or zombie, so I colored her lightly in my skin tone colors E11, E00, E000 then I went back with W5, W3, W1 and W00 to give her that 'dead pasty look'. I love the way it turned out. I had some flowers on this, but I thought it took away from the image, Soooo this was a no flower card. Shocking, right!?

 

If you would like to participate in this months challenge you can do so over on the

 Bloom Girl Design Team Blog. You don't have to use a Bloom Girl Stamp to enter.. and you could win a fabulous prize from Jamie Dougherty!

 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

 





LOTV Halloween -- BOO!

Happy October 1st! I can't believe it's already October! :)

Fall is my favorite time of year.
The crisp cool air, the colors of the trees and the anticipation of the Holidays.
 

Today I have a card to share using this adorable image from Lili of the Valley, 'Halloween'

I've colored using my Copics. I'm not sure why, but I'm really liking the less cluttered card lately. I'm not going to say simple or less detailed because this took me over 2 hours to color. LOL. I was going for the foggy look. After editing the photo I wish I would have went darker in the sky..

oh well, next time.

 

I hope you are all having a wonderful week.

 

 





Whiff of Joy Guest Spot Post!

I can't believe it's already Halloween time.

 I've used this darling from Whiff of Joy - Dark Elf Mya on Gravestone. She's so cute!

I've colored her with my Copic Markers. I love the cheesecloth behind the image. Almost gives it a web like appearance.

 

Well, I hope you all enjoy my card. Have a wonderful day!

Saturated Canary Challenge - Office Supplies

Hello friends!

Today it's time for another Saturated Canary Challenge! Our theme this week is to use something from an office. I used a little clip. The image I used is called Zombie Niamh and boy is she SO much fun to color! I added some greys to make her look pale and zombie-like. I love her hair and the bright colors I used. This is such a great card for Halloween, too!

 

Well, I hope you will join us for our challenge.

Candy Pops Tutorial

Sorry it's taken me so long to get this up. You can make these for all occasions though, just change up your colors and stamps.

Step 1.

Gather your plastic cup things. These are Stampin' Up! ones then I cut out your image and then get a different color piece of cardstock and cut another circle a size bigger.

Step 2.

Poke a hole in the cup to fit the stick of the sucker through and then add more candy, if you wish. Then glue the cup to the colored cardstock.

Step 3.

On the other side add some Scor-Tape along the outter edges.

Step 4.

Take strips of ribbon and make a border all around.

Here's how it looks on the other side. Pretty cute, right!?

Step 5.

Add more Scor-Tape going all the way around and then make loops with your ribbon.

Step 6.

Color your image and add it to the pop.

Here's the back.

Step 7.

Add a sentiment and bow if you wish!

I just love this little Edwin. He's so cute! I'm a big goof ball, I'll admit it... I didn't realize this was a moon with bats background. I thought it was just a scene.. Otherwise I would have added shine to it. Oh well!

Normally I would have added Just Magnolia and hAngler to my post but we have all agreed to have teams letting all the members be on a bi-weekly schedule. So I'll be back with a challenge for next week.
