Bewitched

Today's Halloween card uses a variety of Tim Holtz Halloween products including the new Distress Mica Stains.
I started by placing a circular mask onto a panel of watercolor paper.  I sprayed the panel with a variety of the Halloween Distress Mica Stains.  I took off the circular mask and sprayed the white area with Flickering Candle Distress Mica Stain and water.  I dabbed off the excess with a paper towel and let the panel dry.

I die cut the witch, cats, some bats, and the tattered banner out of black glittered cardstock.  I sprayed a small amount of water color paper with Flickering Candle Distress Mica Stain.  I used this paper to cut the word "BEWITCHED" and to cut small pieces to place behind the cats' eyes to make them glow. I folded in the edges of the tattered banner and adhered the word "BEWITCHED" to the center of the banner. 


I cut out two fence pieces from black and silver foiled cardstock. I slightly offset the silver foiled fence from the black fence and adhered the fence pieces to the bottom of the card. I centered the tattered banner across the middle of the fence.  I glued the cat to the top of the fence.  


I glued the witch to the center of the moon and adhered three bats around the witch. I glued the watercolor panel to a black card panel.  The black card panel was adhered to a white card base.

On the inside of the card, I die-cut a border shape from silver foil cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment onto the shape using StazOn Jet Black ink.  I die cut and assembled the witches broom and placed it underneath the sentiment.  I glued the second cat on top of the handle of the broomstick.


I really love the combination of the glittered cardstock die cuts with the Distress Mica Stains.  It was so much fun to mix and match the different Tim Holtz Halloween die sets.

Lost in the Inky Darkness

Today's card features a few of the new Tim Holtz Sizzix and Ranger Halloween products.  I could not wait to use the Tim Holtz Skulls 3-D Texture Fades embossing folder and combine it with Distress inks and spray stains. I started by inking the flat side of the embossing folder with Black Soot Distress Archival Ink.  I sprayed a panel of water color paper with water and carefully placed this paper into the embossing folder. I ran the embossing folder through my Sizzix Big Shot 3 times. I took the embossed panel out of the embossing folder and cleaned the embossing folder with StazOn All-Purpose Stamp Cleaner. Next, I sprayed the panel with Tim Holtz Decayed Distress Mica Stain.  This gave it a green tinge with a hint of sparkle.  I decided to seal the card panel by dipping a foam blending pad into Distress Micro Glaze and dabbing this onto the card panel.  I glued a black cardstock matte behind the embossed panel and adhered it to a white card base. For the sentiment, I used the &qu

Tim Holtz Spencer Halloween Card

I can't get enough of Tim Holtz's Colorize Spencer die set.  The detail and dimension of this image is absolutely amazing.  Today's card features Spencer, 3-D embossing folders, and a few other Tim Holtz Halloween dies sets. The main card panel was made by embossing a piece of silver foil cardstock using the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions Pinwheel embossing folder.  I watered down a few drops of black acrylic paint and used a paint brush to brush the paint onto the embossed panel.  I let the paint dry for about a minute and then took a paper towel to rub off the excess paint.  I adhered this panel to a black card base. The smaller card panel was made by embossing a piece of black cardstock with the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades Mini Cobblestone embossing folder.  I added a few drops of Sterling Distress Foundry Wax to a craft mat and used my finger to apply the Foundry Wax to the embossed panel.  I added a black matte behind this embossed panel and adhered it at an an

First Day of School

Today's layout was inspired by @christys_beautiful_life 30 Days of Sketches Round 8, Day 3.  I decided to focus the layout on a photo of this year's first day of school. The layout has several sketched circles.  I decided to break out the sewing machine and sew a few black circles using a variety of stitches.   The Scraptember challenge combined with this sketch was layering. So I grabbed the Simple Stories Smarty Pants collection and layered up a bunch of the branding strips and the patterned papers found on the journaling cards. I used the letter stickers from the collection to create the title.  I also used some of the stickers to embellish the title and photo, and also to create an embellishment cluster in the upper right corner of the layout.  To finish off the layout, I splattered it with black ink. I love the 30 Days of Sketches because it is a great way to use up older collections and challenges me to utilize techniques that I don't often use in my layouts. First Da
