Toni here with you today. Now this was a FUN card to make using the new OmgiGoth set. I love getting messy! With gloves on.  Duh.  

I used Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock for the base and randomly smeared on Distress Ink Candied Apple, Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet and Distress Oxide Weathered Wood. I then stamped the Goth Skulls Background using VersaFine Onyx Black.

I wanted a bit more texture so I used the Whimsy Halloween Creatures stencil with PaperArtsy Grunge Paste. Once dry, I rubbed on a bit of the Distress Oxides.  Not tooooo creepy.

Next I stamped the OmgiGoth image using Memento Tuxedo Black and colored her up using Copics.

I thought the background still lacked a bit of something so I stamped one of the OmiGoth sentiments randomly over the card base using Versamark and Ranger White Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder. I also stamped some of the Cute but Psycho spatters using VersaFine Onyx Black.

For the main card sentiment, I stamped it using Versamark and Ranger White Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder onto a strip of scrap black cardstock and cut it up. I mounted "freak" and the goth girl image on foam tape. Gotta make sure the important stuff is obvious!

Early Birds Clear Stamps

This card was such good fun make because that cute birdie wobbles!!!

I die cut a piece of card with the frame from the 

Card Builder Windows Die Set

and using a template from the 

Up In The Clouds die set 

I blended 

Tumbled Glass Distress Ink

over the card to create a cloudy background.

I then added some clouds die cut from vellum with the 

Up In The Clouds die set 

and

Grass and Cloud Edger Die Set

I stamped and coloured a cute bird from the 

Early Birds Clear Stamps set 

and fussy cut it close to the outline.

I fixed a 

Mini Action Wobble Spring

to the back of the birdie and fixed him/her to the card design as shown.

I stamped a sentiment from the 

Early Birds Clear Stamps set 

onto a cloud die cut with the

Up In The Clouds die set 

and finished the design by adding some 

Simply White Nuvo Crystal Drops  

Copic Markers - C00, C01, C03

Happy crafting!

Good morning!

How fun are these adorable bats from Whimsy Stamps new release?  These little cuties are from the Going Batty Clear Stamp set.

I created this fun shaker card with the new Wonky Window 2 Die and the Messy Mesh Background Rubber Stamp.  I only used the center two windows for the actual shaker part, leaving the top and bottom portion for the image and sentiment.  The adorable little bat was attached to the card after it was finished.

As always, there is an abundance of inspiration to be found in the store here.

Trick-or-Treat!

Hello everyone!  It's Rachel here and I have a Halloween card to share with you today featuring the adorable Candy Corn Dress Up Stamp Set.  I love how cute they look in all of their fun little costumes! (Affiliate links used where applicable.)

I wanted to use all of the images, so I created a slimline card to fit them all.  To start, I trimmed my card front (using Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock) to 8.5" x 3.5".  I then diecut a circle from masking paper and placed it in the lower center portion of my card to mask off an area for my moon. I then blended this panel with some blue and black Distress Inks (Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot).

Keeping the masking paper on, I then splattered this piece lightly with water using a #4 paint brush.  I let this sit for a minute before blotting it dry with a paper towel.  Once dry, I then splattered this piece again with some diluted Opaque White Paint to resemble stars.  When my background was complete, I peeled off the masking paper over the "moon" area and then used some cool gray Copic markers (0, C00, C1, C2, C4) to add some craters.

I then stamped all of my candy corn images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers. (Orange: YR12, YR04, YR09, YR18, E35, Yellow: Y00, Y08, Y13, Y15, E34, Black: W4, W6, W8, 100, Purple: BV00, BV02, BV04, BV13, BV17, White: 0, C00, C1, C2, C4, Green: YG00, YG01, YG03, YG17, YG67).

Once I was finished coloring, I then cut out my images with my Brother ScanNCut.  I diecut a long strip of grass by using the straight grass die from the Grass and Cloud Edger Die Set and partially cutting a piece of black card stock twice.  I then heat embossed my sentiment with some Fine Detail White Embossing Powder.

Lastly, I adhered all of my images to the front of my card using some 3D Foam Adhesive Squares for some added dimension.

I hope you enjoyed my card today!  Thank you all so much for dropping by!

Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Rachel
