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.

Ready Player One

Today's card is a fun virtual reality birthday card created in Cricut Design Space and features a vibrant title backed by an alcohol inked panel. A couple of years ago, my son and I read the book Ready Player One,  a science fiction book about humanity's use of virtual reality to escape the real world. Fast forward a few years and now he wants his own virtual reality headset for his birthday.  I created this card for him to celebrate our love for this book and to serve as a precursor of the birthday gift that was to come. While creating this card, I wore the movie T-Shirt I bought last year so I could mimic the movie title font and colors.  I needed an easy way to make the title out of rainbow colors so I placed a few colors of alcohol ink on a felt pad and swiped it across Yupo Paper.  I downloaded and installed the font used for the movie title and cut the title out of a black A2 card panel using Cricut Design Space.  I backed the black card panel with th...

Hero Arts Citrus Cards

Today I had fun playing with the Hero Arts Fresh Citrus Bold Prints background stamp and the Hero Arts Zest Wishes Stamp Set to create these fun and fresh set of cards. I started by creating the backgrounds.  I used white cardstock and stamped it with the background stamp using VersaMark Ink.  I heat embossed the panels with white embossing powder.  Then, I used a foam blending tool and blended Scattered Straw, Squeezed Lemonade, and Twisted Citron Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks to ink the card panels.  For some panels, I used only one ink and other panels I used a combination of all the inks.  I cut the inked backgrounds down to 4" x 5.25" and matte each panel on a black card base.   For one card, I used the excess strips from when I cut down the inked panels, and adhered these strips to a black card panel, leaving a little of the black background showing in between each of the strips. I stamped all the citrus fruits, leaves, flowers, and branches on w...

I'd Cross the Ocean For You

I just received the Seas the Day stamp set by Dare 2B Artzy and I couldn't wait to use the images and sentiments to make some ocean-themed cards.   I started out by stamping the manatee and shells and colored them with Copic markers.  For the card front, I used Pixie Spray on the back of a mermaid scales stencil and adhered it to a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock.  I blended 3 colors of blue Distress Oxide Inks to make it look like the ocean water was getting lighter near the surface.  To add a little bit of sparkle to the water, I splattered some glitter ink on the stenciled card front. I decided to make this a shaker card, so I used a scallop square die to cut a window out of the center of the card front.  A piece of acetate was glued to the back of this window.  I blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink on the white card base.  A sequence mixture was made using blue, white, and iridescent sequence.  I glued a few of the sequence pieces ...
