Special Guest - Michelle Bala

Hello there!

I am so excited to be a Guest Designer for 

Whimsy Stamps this month!!!!

I created two cards, and I used the stamp sets Candy Corn Dress Up and Going Batty. 

I also used some dies, Kinetic Curved Hills and Tombstone Tag.

And, of course a stencil, Sun Rays!

I started off by inking up some watercolor cardstock. 

For the night time sky I used distress oxide inks in shades 

tumbled glass, mermaid lagoon, and chipped sapphire. 

Than I placed the Sun Rays Stencil over the cardstock and 

brushed on some white ink. I added a few splashes of water.

For the field I used crushed olive, mowed lawn, and forest moss 

and added a few splashes of water and paint splatter.

  I die cut the field using Kinetic Curved Hills.

I die cut the tombstone with the Tombstone Tag Dies and
used hickory smoke and black soot to color it.

I wrote RIP with a gel pen.

I colored up the Candy Corn Dressup cuties with Copic Markers in these shades: 

W0, W1, W3, Y15, Y17, YR04, YR07

V12, V17, C1, C2, C5, C7

E25, and E29.

For the wood fence I used Wo, W2, W4, and W6.

I heat embossed the sentiments.

I added some shimmer using clear stickles.

For this next card I inked up the Sun Rays Stencil using wilted violet,

fossilized amber, and twisted citron.

Then splattered the same inks onto the background.

I colored the images from Going Batty with Copic Markers in the following shades:

V12, V17, Y13, Y17, YG21, YG25

BG11, E31, E33, W00, W1, W6

E70, E71, E74, E79, E93, W00, W1.

I used hickory smoke to create a base.

I added some clear stickles for shimmer and some sequins.

I hope you enjoyed this post!

Thanks for stopping by!!!
