Boo!

Halloween is almost upon us and, appropriately, the challenge theme at One Stitch at a Time this week is.....

 

......

 

......

 

.....BOO! :D

 

For my card this week I've used BBKakes' rather funky Skull Diva digi stamp:

 

 

I love this stylish little rock chick with her skull accessories. :) I coloured her with my Promarkers and fussy cut her out:

 

 

I wanted a Halloween-y background for my card so I chose this fabulous haunted house shape on my Cameo and cut it out on black card. I layered it over a background made by blending Distress Inks.

 

 

To finish I stamped a greeting in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with Silver Pearl embossing powder and then added my cut-out image using foam pads for a touch of dimension.

Boo!

This week for Variations Week at the Sweet Pea Stamps blog, the DT are playing with Teresa Sherman's fabulous Halloweenies images. I just love these creepy cute characters! :)

 

I chose to work with Mummy:

 

 

I coloured the image with my Promarkers and cut it out:

 

 

I decided to keep my card fairly clean and simple and used my Cameo to cut some halloween-themed images from black card, sizing them to the same size as my main image. I arranged the images in a grid formation, attaching the coloured digi stamp with foam pads to make it pop, and finished up with a spooky sentiment, also cut with my Cameo:

 

 

You can find Teresa Sherman's Halloweenies (and her other fab stamps) in both red rubber and digi format at the Sweet Pea Stamps store.

 

Pumpkin Pixie

This week I've been creating with one of the new digi stamps from one of my favourite Sweet Pea Stamps artists - Ching Chou Kuik.

 

 

For this card I've used the Pumpkin Pixie digi stamp. I love the halloween theme to this image... and the cute little cats! :) I coloured the image with my Promarkers in warm shades of orange and green and added a little shading around the figure using Prismacolor pencils:

 

 

I also added a touch of Spiced Marmalade Distress Stickles to the accents in her hair:

 

 

I came across this fabulous bat frame in the Silhouette store recently and thought it was just perfect for this card. I cut it out from black cardstock and teamed it with some luscious autumn-coloured papers from the new Autumn Song collection from Bo Bunny.

 

 

To finish I added some layered flowers and dotted some flourishes using black Enamel Accents.

 

 

This stamp is available in red rubber or digi format from the Sweet Pea Stamps store.

 

 

Happy Halloween!

I think today is a perfect day to post this card.... ;)

 

 

I got this fabulous Zombie Beauty Queen image by Rick St Dennis a few weeks ago and was just dying (heee.. geddit? :D) to play with her. So the current Sweet or Spooky Hallowe'en challenge at Sparkle and Glitter the Rick St Dennis challenge blog was the perfect excuse!

 

 

 

I experimented a bit with this card and did a pop-up easel card. I really wanted the fab zombie figure to stand out from the card and an easel card seemed a good solution... but then I wanted even more dimension so I made a fold down tab from the easel section so she would stand proud of the card. :)

 

I made the backgrounds using Distress Inks in various shades of green and added detail with some cute and spooky halloween-themed Stampin' Up! stamps and a few doodled gravestones!

 

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

Boo!

That's the challenge theme this week at One Stitch At A Time! :)

 

Halloween will shortly be upon us and halloween-themed cards and projects are popping up all over blogland, so here's one from me:

 

 

I used this cute little pumpkin man image by Stitchy Stamps. I made a background by spritzing green and orange inks through a tree trunks stencil and coloured in "Pumpkinhead" using Promarkers. I had the idea that he would look cute peeking through the "O" of a big "BOO!" so printed the wording in reverse onto cardstock and cut it out by hand before edging the letters with a black pen. I added some die-cut corner flourished to finish.

 

A quick and quirky card. :)

 

It's easy to join in the fun over at OSAAT - just make a card or other project that fits our theme (you don't have to use a Stitchy Bear image but obviously we'd love to see your Stitchy Bear creations), post it up on your blog and link it up at the challenge post on OSAAT. Et voila! If you use a Stitchy Bear image you will be entered into the draw to win a prize from our fabulous sponsor, Crimson Cloud, and if you enter without a Stitchy Bear image you will have the chance to win a $3 voucher to spend in the Stitchy Bear store.
